The Season of Advent

Paul Clark — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 19:37:38 +0000

We are in the season of Advent. There are two purposes for Advent. First, we celebrate the gift of Jesus, he is the reason we have hope for salvation and is the greatest gift ever given. Second, we anticipate Jesus’ return. Jesus started the work of redeeming all things when he walked the earth 2000 years ago, but he didn’t finish the work. During Advent we look forward with hope to the time when Jesus will come again, and will make all things new.

Pastor Paul has created an Advent devotional guide available at the church. The guide is not available online.

Be sure to worship with us through Advent.

Sunday, December 16 will be our children’s program. Come at 10:15 for fellowship, 10:30 for the children’s program and our worship service.

Sunday, December 23 is the fourth and final Sunday of Advent, and we will have a great time of celebrating the birth of Christ together.

Saturday, December 1

Opening Prayer: O God our Father, renew our spirits and draw our hearts to thyself, that our work may not be to us a burden but a delight; and give us such love to thee as we may sweeten all our obedience. Help us that we may serve thee with the cheerfulness and gladness of children, delighting ourselves in thee and rejoicing in all that is to the honor of thy name; though Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer:for the church, for others, for myself.

Hymn: “Come, Thou Almighty King”
Come, thou almighty King,
Help us thy name to sing,
Help us to praise!
Father all glorious,
O’er all victorious,
Come, and reign over us,
Ancient of Days!

Come, thou incarnate Word,
Gird on thy mighty sword,
Our prayer attend;
Come, and thy people bless,
And give thy Word success;
Spirit of holiness,
On us descend!

Come, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear,
In this glad hour:
Thou who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart,
And ne’er from us depart,
Spirit of power!

To thee, great One in Three,
Eternal praises be,
Hence, evermore:
Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore! Amen.

Closing Prayer: You have been in communion with your Lord. Go forth now in the strength and assurance that the Lord Jesus Christ goes with you.Amen.
