Lighting of the Advent Candle
Doug, Susan, Logan, & Kaylee Mitts
Scripture - Isaiah 60:2-3
For darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you and his glory will appear over you.
Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
One:
We light this candle as a symbol of Christ our Hope.
May the light sent from God shine in the darkness
to show us the way to salvation.
Many:
O Come, O Come Emmanuel.
Choral Response
Advent Blessings - Barbara Wallace
Call to Worship
(in unison)
Faithful God, out of war’s chaos, you bring the order of peace. Renew us in hope that we may work toward Christ’s advent of peace among all nations. Come, let us walk in the light of the LORD!
Hymn of Praise
Prepare the Way, O Zion
BEREDEN VÄG FÖR HERRAN

Prayer of Confession
(in unison)
As streets fill with shoppers; bright lights and tempting offers; Christmas songs and children’s laughter; You lead us along a different path. You lead us to a desert river and a Prophetic voice; to a call to repentance; a call to service. You call us to immerse ourselves in living water that will never run dry. A call to prepare a way in our own lives for the Savior of the world to enter in. Forgive us when we are caught up in the frenzy of the world. Forgive us when we turn away from the injustice in the world. Forgive us when we look to the world to quench our thirst and not to you. God in this season, suspended between hope and fulfillment, let us not forget what you have done. Fill us with your living water, overwhelm us with your mercy, and make straight the path for the Lord that together we may see God’s glory revealed.
