9:30 a.m. Worship Service

Prelude

Lighting of the Advent Candle

Leader: The Christian life is full of ordinary things that together work for the extraordinary purpose of glorifying God. We rejoice in the promises of God and yet at times our hearts are sad.

Congregation: Even David, Israel’s great king, at times was downcast and disturbed within his soul.

Leader: Despite the problems we face in this world, we are called to be a people of rejoicing. The scriptures call us to “rejoice in the Lord always.”

Congregation: Why so downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God!

Leader: We light this third Advent candle with rejoicing, knowing that Christ will surely come and make all things new. Let us pray to the Lord who has come and is coming again. Gracious God, our world is often filled with disappointment, pain and sadness. In this dark place may your light shine. Ignite in our hearts this day a desire to rejoice in you and your promises that will surely come to pass. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
