WORSHIP DECEMBER 9, 2012
SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT
THE GATHERING
Leader: The Lord be with you. Drew Stockstill
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Walter Huff, organist
THE LIGHTING OF THE ADVENT WREATH Sarah, Richard, and Miranda Brownlee
* Unison Prayer:
Eternal God, source of all light and life, we give you thanks for the coming of
Christ, the light that shines in the darkness, the life of all people. Let us walk in
the light of the Lord. Amen.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 9 O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O Lord, we do not know how to seek you. If we place our trust in worldly ways,
we are left comfortless. If we seek to place ourselves in your place, we find your
ways inscrutable, and our understanding is confused. Our sin obscures our
knowledge of your goodness and mercy. Our transgressions cloud our vision of
your holiness. It is only because of the love you have for us that we are bold to
come before your throne of grace, asking once more that you would forgive us
and cleanse us and redirect us. Set our eyes on your ways and our feet on your
paths, for the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,
People: But we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet
without sin.
Leader: Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive
mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Believe the promise of the Gospel:
People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. - Hebrews 4:15-16
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 23)
Gloria in excelsis Deo; Gloria in excelsis Deo.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST
(Children ages 3-10 are invited to leave after the Peace of Christ for special classes. Threes, fours & fives
are in Room 011; K-1st grade in Room 003; 2nd-3rd grade in Room 001; 4th-5th grade in Room 005.)

THE OFFERTORY Silent Night arr. Mike Garson
Walter Huff, pianist
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE AND PRAYER OF DEDICATION (Hymn 31)
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the sun of righteousness! Light and
life to all He brings, risen with healing in His wings. Mild He lays His glory by,
born that we no more may die, born to raise us from the earth, born to give us second
birth. Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King!”
