First Sunday of Advent
Prelude Music Director Bob Senay ANNOUNCEMENTS: Advent candle lighters: Garnet & Christine Welling CALL TO WORSHIP: from Psalm 18 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. The Lord is my shield and the horn of my salvation. I call to the Lord who is worthy of praise. In my distress I called to the Lord, I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice; my cry came into His ears. Smoke rose from His nostrils; consuming fire came from His Mouth, burning coals blazed out of it. He reached down from on high and took hold of me. He drew me out of the deep waters—He rescued me. The Lord rescued me because He delighted in me. The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness.
INVOCATION: Dr. Domske
* Hymn “Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus” # 82 *PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (UNISON) O Lord God, Maker of all including me, I give You praise. It seems foolish that we ignore You, desert You, sin against You. It seems ludicrous that we love ourselves more than we love You. Yet we do. We sin. We look for our own self-interests first, long before we look out for our neighbors or especially You. Save us from ourselves, O God. Forgive us for our short-sighted attitudes of sin. We are sorry we have failed You. Put us back into Your arms, where we belong. * Time of silent prayer *ASSURANCE OF PARDON *Response – Gloria Patri (Page 581) *Passing the peace L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Our guest speaker today is Rev Renny Domske.
Gathering Around the Word
Prelude Music Director Robert Senay ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 14 The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. The fool says in his heart. “There is no God.” These foolish men are corrupt, their deeds are vile. They have together become corrupt and turned God aside. There is no one who does good, not even one. God is present in the company of the righteous. The Lord is the refuge of the poor and their plans. Will evildoers never learn? They devour my people as men eat bread. Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! The Lord restores the fortunes of His people

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude Music Director Robert Senay ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 13 How Long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? How Long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? My enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall. Look on me and answer me, O Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, so I do not sleep in death. Yet I trust in Your unfailing love for me; my heart rejoices in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, the Lord my God, for my God has surely been good to me. Good morning! We're so glad you're joining us today. When we meet in person, we share our joys and concerns together.

We ask that your Holy Spirit would be at work, opening our ears to hear and our hearts to receive your word. May we be transformed into your likeness. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
