WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS (Please sign the Worship Register and pass it on to your neighbor.) *LIGHTING THE ADVENT CANDLE/OPENING SENTENCES (8:30) Linda and Cliff Butler (11:00) Brian, Susan, Monty, Bradley, and Helen Swafford One: All: Today we relight the first three candles of the Advent Wreath—the candles of hope, peace and joy—and now we light the fourth candle of Advent. This is the candle of love. Jesus taught and demonstrated the meaning of love. Advent is a time to love as God loved us. God is love, so let us exhibit love also. And so, with the prophet Isaiah we pray: Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation may spring up. (Isaiah 45:8) *HYMN 140 “Once in Royal David’s City” Irby Ben Baxley (8:30) and Josh Singleton (11:00), trebles The Congregation is invited to join in singing verses 2 through 4.

Not very far. Shall we find the stable room Lit by a star? Can we see the little child, Is He within? If we lift the wooden latch May we go in? 2. May we stroke the creatures there, Oxen and sheep? May we peek like them And see Jesus asleep? If we touch His tiny hand Will he awake? Will He know we’ve come so far Just for His sake? 3. Be near me, Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay Close by me for ever, And love me, I pray; Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care, And fit us for Heaven To live with Thee there. ~ Words, Frances Chesterton, 1875-1936 and John Thomas McFarland, 1851-1913 At this time, young children may be dismissed to the nursery.
