Worship Notes               Second Sunday in Advent

On this Second Sunday in Advent, the prophet Isaiah prophet proclaims to Israel that despite their present circumstances, God has not abandoned them.   Isaiah 40: 1-11 describes how we are as vulnerable as grass, and therefore we are at the mercy of forces beyond human control.  Yet God does intervene with salvation and deliverance.  John the Baptizer opens Mark’s Gospel with a scorching sermon in the Judean wilderness.  John calls people to change and, as a sign of that change, to submit to a baptism for repentance of sins as we read Mark 1: 1-8.                           We will share communion this morning.  If you are worshipping at home, please prepare bread or crackers along with a cup of wine, juice, or water for communion.  You are also invited to light the second candle on your advent wreaths as we light the candles in the sanctuary.

Worship Notes               First Sunday in Advent

Advent invites us to acknowledge times of deep belief, but also times of doubt. It calls us to remember when we have experienced God’s presence most clearly, and when we have felt deserted by God. It reminds us that our relationship with the One who creates is ongoing and we are not alone.  In Isaiah 64:1–9 the prophet Isaiah pleads with God to restore broken relationships with God’s people.   Jesus asks us to remember the promise of God’s presence in Mark 13:24–37. He challenges us to stay awake, be alert, and live in expectation.

Sunday Worship

Psalm 78:1–7 invites us to experience our lives and faith in relationship both to those who have gone before and those who go after. Each generation has a responsibility to share the story of liberation and justice they have received. Jesus’ parable of ten bridesmaids in Matthew 25: 1-13 opens reflection on living into God’s purpose.

Worship Notes

Our first reading is from I Thessalonians 2: 9-11 This reading offers a character reference of those who have shared the gospel with this community. Their words and actions witnessed to God’s work in and through them. Jesus insisted that word and deed corroborate with each other in Matthew 23: 1-12.   Disciples are credible witnesses when their loving actions mirror their words.

We will share in Holy Communion on All Saints Sunday as we remember in prayer those members of the congregation and friends and family members who have died in the past year.  Please have a candle at your worship centers to light as you remember those who have died in the past year.

Worship Notes:

As the community of Jesus’ disciples, we are called to find ways to proclaim the love of God to our neighbors.  The Gospel lesson in Matthew 22: 34-46 reminds the emerging Christian community of Jesus’ rules – unconditional love for God and neighbor. Today’s reading from the Hebrew scriptures, Deuteronomy 34: 1-12, brings to an end the life of Moses.  He is given a glimpse of the promised land, but he will not cross over into it.

Felecia Bishop will be speaking as part of our Faces of Love campaign.

We will also be dedicating our pledges for our 2021 financial support of the mission and ministry of ERUCC.    Pledges can be made in person, via the web page, via mail, or dropped off at the church office or brought to worship this Sunday to be received during the offering.

Don’t forget to come by the church between noon and 2 to pick up your tasty treat lovingly prepared by David Howard.  A thank you for your ongoing prayer and support.
