ANNOUNCEMENTS
Welcome to worship! During this Advent season of watching and waiting, we gather to listen for God’s promise, to lift our hearts in hope, and to prepare room for Christ’s coming light. Whether you are a long time member or visiting with us today, we’re glad you’re here. May this time of worship open our eyes to grace already unfolding among us and strengthen us to live with anticipation, compassion, and joy in the days ahead.
We are pleased to welcome back Rev. Dr. Nicole Richardson as guest preacher and worship leader today. Nicole will be with us through the remaining Sundays of Advent and will lead our candlelight worship on Christmas Eve (4:30 pm)
Today we celebrate Gaudete Sunday, a pause in Advent to glimpse joy. Gaudete means “rejoice” (Phil. 4:4), but this is a joy that lives alongside questions, like Mary’s Magnificat or John the Baptist’s hope in prison. Lighting the rose candle reminds us that God meets us in uncertainty with a joy rooted not in what we see, but in Christ’s light already breaking in.
Join us TODAY right after worship for our Annual Church Christmas Party and Fellowship Lunch. Please plan to stay a little longer and celebrate the season with great food and fun activities. All are welcome!
GOD WITH US: Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship!
Join us on December 24 at 4:30 p.m., with preservice music beginning at 4:15, for our Candlelight Christmas Eve service. Together we’ll rejoice in the wonder of Christ’s birth through scripture, music, reflection, beloved carols, and the celebration of Holy Communion.
