The Order of Worship for This Sunday
Call to Worship 
(Adapted from an Advent resource by Ann Siddall)

 

As we come to the end of a challenging and exhausting year, we long to begin again. We spread out a purple cloth, read again the ancient scriptures, and light a candle in the darkness to celebrate a visitation.

 

Though in our own homes, we gather as the church to declare our intention to live as if the greatest gift in the world were about to be placed into our hands

and as if the Giver has understood our deepest needs, our most heartfelt prayers.

 

Like Mary, may we be surprised by our calling; like Simeon and Anna, may the years increase our faith; like sleepy shift workers on a hillside, may our eyes be opened; like Joseph may we listen to our dreams; for this season requires our openness and trust.

 

There is a Presence in our world that asks to be seen, who will stay awake?


 

There is a coming to our world that seeks a welcome, who will offer hospitality? Even now Jesus Christ is moving towards us. Let us worship him!

Scripture Reading
Mark 13:24-37 (New Revised Standard Version)
 
24 "But in those days, after that suffering, the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light,
25 and the stars will be falling from heaven,
    and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

26 Then they will see 'the Son of Man coming in clouds' with great power and glory. 27 Then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

28 "From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 30 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

32 "But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come. 

34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. 35 Therefore, keep awake-for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, 36 or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake."
