O, I would go to Bethlehem, beneath the peaceful midnight sky, to see the child and greet Him, and hear the virgin’s lullaby. Her sweet and gently lullaby, and I would see the angels there, and watch them bending above Him to worship and to love Him.
We Present Ourselves in Worship Call to Worship and Lighting of the Advent Candle.......Pastor Kasper Haughton (congregation standing) Leader: Come, let us worship our Creator and Redeemer. Congregation: We come as Christ has called us. We know
that we have all sinned and are not worthy of a place at Christ’s table. We know that Christ died for our sins that we night be called the people of God.
Leader:
Hear the good news of the Gospel, that our sins are forgiven, covered by the blood of Christ’s righteousness.
Congregation: Let
us lift up the name of Jesus. Let us bow down and pray before Him. Let our lives be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Leader:
Come, let us worship in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Pass the Blessing of Christ’s Peace
