*CALL TO WORSHIP:
Leader: In Advent we celebrate God’s gift of a new beginning.
People: We praise you, O God of new beginnings, for turning hope into
despair.
Leader: In the beginning the Word was with God, chasing the darkness into day.
People: We praise you, O God, for bringing light out of night.
All: Let us bear witness to the light that was with God in the beginning. Let
us bear witness to the light that became flesh in Jesus Christ.
*INTROIT:…………………………………………………………………………………………………………...#685
INVOCATION: The “day that shall come to pass” is now. The “house of the God of
Jacob and Rachel” is here. O God, be with us in these moments in this place, that in
days to come we may remain with you as we walk in the world.
*HYMN:..……………………………………..”Yes, God Is Real”……………...………………………………#53
*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH: Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is one true church,
apostolic and universal, whose faith let us now reverently and sincerely declare.
What do we believe?
The Apostles’ Creed
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 Ghost. 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 on 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 Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
(Holy Catholic Church means the church universal not the Roman Catholic Church.)
