Worship Service Second Sunday of Advent

December 10, 2017

“THE WESTMINSTER CHIMES” (Please use this time to prepare for worship.)

GATHERING TOGETHER

CALL TO WORSHIP: Imad El-Imam based on “Love Shed Abroad” from the Valley of Vision

Leader: Our hearts praise you for the wonder of your great love for us in Jesus. People: We thank you for sending Heaven’s Joy to take on our humanity. Leader: In Jesus Christ, your grace pours over us to overflowing All: In Jesus Christ, your love for us reaches its highest expression.

WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS PRELUDE LIGTHTING THE ADVENT WREATH: Matt & Rebecca Perry * CONFESSING OUR FAITH: Imad El-Imam

The Heidelberg Catechism – Day 30: Questions 80-82 Leader: What is so meaningful about celebrating the Lord’s Supper? All: The Lord’s Supper declares to us that our sins have been completely

forgiven through the one sacrifice of Jesus Christ. All of this was finished on the cross of Christ, once for all. It also declares to us that we are united with Christ by the work of the Holy Spirit.

Leader: Who is welcome at the Lord’s Table? All: All who realize their sinfulness before God, and who trust that their

sins are pardoned in Christ, are welcome. All who realize their weakness before God, but who are nevertheless strengthened by faith in Christ, are welcome. However, those who refuse to admit their sinfulness and weakness before God are not yet welcome to the Table.

* GATHERING SONG: #22—Angels From the Realms of Glory * PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Imad El-Imam

based on “Love Shed Abroad” from the Valley of Vision Heavenly Father, your amazing love endures forever. O, that we would love you as you have loved us. Melt our hard hearts with your mercy. Unlock our shackled souls with your grace. Lead us away from false trusts to trust in you alone. Free us from believing we earn your love and so cheapen Christ’s sacrifice. Lord Jesus, as those you purchased by your suffering, we confess our sin, longing to be holy as you are holy… (silent confession) SILENT CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF PARDON

* GREETING ONE ANOTHER: Leader: May the peace of Christ be with you.

People: And also with you. CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE: #9—O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (v. 1) O Come, O Come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely

exile here Until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to Thee, O Israel!
