Prelude: Midi Advent candle lighting: Mary Esselstyn & Diana Donaldson CALL TO WORSHIP: Isaiah the prophet offer the invitation to his listeners and it is extended to us today who gather.

Let us worship our God. INVOCATION:
*Hymn: “ O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” # 88
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: God of Yesterday, today and tomorrow, God of the beginning and the end of times; You have called us to lay aside all that binds us from our love and service to You and Your kingdom. Though we know the power of Your grace and the new life You have begun, yet we confess that we continue to cling to our old ways. We have lived and acted time and again not as the new creation You have begun, but as the old person serving our sinful inclinations. Forgive us, Gracious God. By Your Spirit, lead us in a way that honors You, the Christ who is coming in glory to reign. Amen. *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 *Passing of the peace Prayer for Illumination Scripture: Isaiah 2: 1-5 Scripture: Matthew 24: 36-44 Sermon ”EVER WATCHFUL” (one verse intro) all 4 verses *Hymn : When Morning Gilds the Skies” # 667 Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology * Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer INVITATION TO THE LORD’S TABLE “Let us Break Bread Together” Communion “Alleluia” (insert) INVOCATION “A Hymn of Joy We Sing” (insert) *Benediction Postlude: Midi

Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 4) When we call out, it is You, righteous God, who hears us. When we are in distress it is You who gives us relief, it is You who has mercy on us. Trust in the LORD! You give us peace so that we can find rest. You alone LORD make us dwell in safety. Only the LORD, who watches over us, who cares for us and saves us is worthy of our praise. So today we will gather as one to worship the only one who is worthy! INVOCATION:
*Hymn “God of Grace and God of Glory” # 307
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Lord, You have said where our trust should be placed. You have declared that is only in You where our hope and help is found. And yet, we allow our walk through life to throw us into confusion. We abandon the one who we are meant to follow. We start the race but look for every short cut along the way. We place our hope and give our devotion to temporal things that do not satisfy. Forgive us for the many ways we turn to other things and not to You. Have mercy on us and enable us to run the race well. Cast aside our sin and carry us to the finish line so that we may see Your face in this life and in glory.
