The Church Gathers for Worship (Please take this moment to silence your mobile devices.)
The Choral Call to Worship: “Prepare the Way of the Lord”
The Parish Concerns & Announcements
The Chiming of the Hour
The Flame Comes to the Altar
The Preludes:
(8:30) “Lo, How a Rose Is Growing”by Michael Burkhardt
(10:55) “What Child Is This”by Anon
*The Hymn of Celebration: “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”No. 240
*The Minister: “Let Us Unite in the Historic Confession of the Christian Church”
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
*The Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.
The Lighting of the Advent Wreath:
(8:30)Aaron & Emily McCalvin, Gage and Rylee
(10:55)Arthur & Amy Bickerstaff, Marjorie and Arthur
Congregational Response: O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer our spirits by thy justice here; disperse the gloomy clouds of night, and death’s dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
The Call to Prayer
Take this moment to prepare to speak to the One who is more focused upon our hearts than upon our words. One who is more committed to us and our soul’s well being than we are to our body’s comforts and pleasures. One who has shown us by the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ the seriousness with which He makes our appointment. The only One who loves us just because His love is greater than our sin. Free yourself in these moments from your fear-filled secrets by prayerfully confessing them in the presence of our Heavenly Father.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Our Sunday School Boys and Girls are participating in an Advent Mission Project to benefit the orphaned children in Ukraine. Each week our boys and girls compete against each other to see who can bring in the most “spare change” to their Sunday School class, as this money will allow us to buy desperately needed items such as warm socks, shoes, gloves, underwear, and other items that we all take for granted. Remember -- you don't have to have a child in Sunday School to help! Just put your spare change in an envelope marked boys or girls and give it to Grace Bailey, Cindy Shavers, or Tammy Reynolds -- we will make sure that your "team" gets credit for your gift!
***Fundraising Update*** Our boys and girls continue to out do themselves with this fund raising competition. This week the boys' total is $355.79 and the girls' total is 335.58. Way to go boys! The girls are only a little more that $20 away - wow what a close race. Don't forget, the winners will be served Pizza by the losers, (who of course will be wearing those pesky aprons) and the winners will get to make their own Cotton Candy. So kids, keep up the good work!
