Sunday, November 29, 2020 @ 11:00am First Sunday of Advent Sermon "Be Alert, Be Watchful" Min. Joycelyn King, Lay Servant -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lighting the Advent Candle – Hope Reader One: If ever there was a year we needed Advent, this is the year. We hardly know how to describe the year we have lived through. We hesitate to reflect on all the mess around us in 2020. All we know is that nothing seems right, nothing seems like it used to be, nothing. We need Advent! Reader Two: The prophet Isaiah cried out for us, “O that you would tear open the heavens and come down … To make your name known … so that nations might tremble at your presence.” So tear through the mess, O Lord, and come down to us again. We long to be your people, a people of hope. Reader One: We light this first candle as a sign of our hope. Hope that you can meet us, even in the mess of our world. Hope that you still see us, though we feel we are lost in the rubble. Let this light be the guide that brings us to Emmanuel once more. Reader Two: O Come, O Come Emmanuel. TFWS # 2090 [Verse 1] Light the Advent candle, one Now the waiting has begun; we have started on our way, time to think of Christmas day. [Refrain] Candle, candle, burning bright, shining in the cold winter night; candle, candle, burning bright, fill our hearts with Christmas light. |

Our MIssion Statement
We have covenanted with God and one another to use the resources that we have been blessed with to do all that we can to meet the needs of the least and lost in our community, city, state, country and the world.
We have covenanted with God and one another to be intentional about studying God’s word, praying without ceasing and serving all with the help and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We have covenanted with God and one another to live a life of love because Jesus says, “that the world will know that we are disciples of His by our love for each other.”
