11. Angels We Have Heard on High
Hymn 113

12. Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

13. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be,
Which inspire your heav’nly song?
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
verse 2 & refrain

14. Come to Bethlehem, and see Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
verse 3 & refrain

15. See within a manger laid Jesus, Lord of heav’n and earth!
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With us sing our savior’s birth.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
* verse 4 & refrain

17. LIGHTING OUR
ADVENT CANDLE

18. [ Pastor/CONGREGATION ]
THE CALL TO WORSHIP
[ Pastor/CONGREGATION ]

19. Minister: Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then shall the lame man leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.

20. People: For waters break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. (Isaiah 35:5-6)

21. Minister: For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder,

22. People: And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

23. Congregational Prayer of Confession ALL: O God, in the beginning You spoke, and creation was born, the object of Your loving care.

24. In the fullness of time You spoke, and the Word became flesh, Jesus, gift of Your love. We wonder at the miracle of creation; we stand in awe before the mystery of the incarnation.

25. Forgive us earthbound creatures, feeble in faith, empty of hope, lacking in love. We wait upon You with ready hearts, O God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord Lord Jesus, hear our prayers.

26. SILENT PRAYERS OF
THANKSGIVING
AND
CONFESSION

27. Words of Assurance and Pardon of the Gospel (John 1:4-5)

28. Minister: In Him was life, and the life was the light of men
Minister: In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

29. Minister: This is the good news! People: Thanks be to our great God!

30. What Child Is This, Who, Laid to Rest
Hymn 281

31. What Child is this, who laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

32. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: This, this is Christ the King, The babe, the Son of Mary.

33. Why lies He in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.

34. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: This, this is Christ the King, The babe, the Son of Mary.

35. So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, Come, peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

36. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: This, this is Christ the King, The babe, the Son of Mary.

38. The Proclamation of Scripture

39. “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you.

40.   Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.

41. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

42. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭NLT

43. Message “Worship Fully” Rev. Dustin Sedlak

AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM,
AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY FOREVER
AMEN
