O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.

shall come to you, O Israel.
O come, O Wisdom from on high,
who orders all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show
and teach us in her ways to go.

O come, O come, great Lord of might,
who to your tribes on Sinai's height
in ancient times once gave the law
in cloud and majesty and awe.

O come, O Key of David, come
and open wide our heavenly home;
make safe the way that leads on high,
and close the path to misery.

and cheer us by your drawing nigh;
disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
and death’s dark shadow put to flight.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
be with you all.
And also with you.
Almighty God,
to you all hearts are open,
all desires known,
and from you no secrets are hidden.
Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts
by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit,
that we may perfectly love you,
and worthily magnify your holy name;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Advent candle - Hope
The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light.
We light this candle to remember those who waited in hope
for the Messiah. We light one candle and hope that the
brightness will grow as we travel through Advent to
Christmas.
Light the first candle.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,
for he who promised is faithful.

Advent Responses
Among the poor, among the proud,
among the persecuted, among the privileged,
Christ is coming.
He is coming to make all things new.
In the private house, in the market place,
in the wedding feast, in the judgement hall,
Christ is coming.
He is coming to make all things new.
With a gentle touch, with an angry word,
with a clear conscience, with burning love,
Christ is coming.
He is coming to make all things new.
That the Kingdom might come, that the world might believe,
that the powerful might stumble, that the humble might be
raised,
Christ is coming.
He is coming to make all things new.
Within us, without us, among us, before us,
In this place, in every place, for this time, for all time,
Christ is coming.
He is coming to make all things new.
The Collect:
Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of
darkness, and put on the armour of light, now in the time
of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to
us in great humility, that on the last day, when he shall
come again in his glorious majesty, to judge both the
quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God now and forever. Amen

First Reading:
Isaiah 64:1-9
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm:
80: 1-7, 17-18
Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock;
shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim.
In the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
stir up your strength and come to help us.
Restore us, O God of hosts;
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be
saved.
O Lord God of hosts,
how long will you be angered
despite the prayers of your people?
You have fed them with the bread of tears;
you have given them bowls of tears to drink.
You have made us the derision of our neighbours,
and our enemies laugh us to scorn.
Restore us, O God of hosts;
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be
saved.
And so will we never turn away from you;
give us life, that we may call upon your name.
Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be
saved.
Second Reading:
1 Corinthians 1:3-9
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
Thanks be to God.

In the Lord I’ll be Ever Thankful
Gradual Hymn:
In the Lord I’ll be ever thankful,
In the Lord, I will rejoice!
Look to God, do not be afraid;
lift up your voices: the Lord is near,
Lift up your voices: the Lord is near.

Sermon: Reverend David Chillman
Hymn: SB 22
Christ, Be Our Light
Apostles Creed
Let us confess the faith of our baptism, as we say,
I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
6
He will come again
to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Prayers of the People:
a moment of silence
Confession and Absolution
A voice cries out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way
of the Lord.’ So let us listen, and turn to
the Lord in penitence and faith.
silence is kept
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us,
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your name. Amen.
Almighty God have mercy upon you,
pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
confirm and strengthen you in all goodness,
and keep you in eternal life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
silence is kept
7
The Peace:
In the tender mercy of our God, the dayspring from on high
shall break upon us, to give light to
those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death and
to guide our feet into the way of peace.
The peace of the Lord be always with you.
And also with you.
As we pass the peace of Christ, we greet each other with a heart of
forgiveness and reconciliation preparing us to come together at the
altar in peace and unity as one family in Christ.

with a Saviour who has come.
We are all God's sons and daughters;

where he meets us in our living,
in our striving and our sin.

Come and journey, journey outward,
telling others of his name,
telling others of his glory,

as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours,

Here is the table of the Lord,
we are gathered to his supper,
a foretaste of things eternal.

Come, old and young,
there is room for all.
