Sweetly singing o’er the plains,

And the mountains in reply

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heav’nly song

L1. Call to Worship - Panggilan Beribadah

This is the season of holy waiting.

      We wait for the day when swords are transformed into plowshares.

      We wait in the shadows for the Light of the World to appear.

Come let us walk in the light of God!

P. Lighting the Advent Candle: "PEACE"

(Intrumental)            “O Come, O Come Emmanuel PH 9”

Watch and wait for Christ’s coming! Light candles of hope, peace, joy, and love, remembering the promises of God with prayer. We light this candle in hope.

- Light the first candle

We light this candle for peace.

- Light the second candle

Hear Mary’s song of hope for peace to the Christ child.

(A reading from Luke 1:76-79)

“You, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins. By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

Let us pray:

God of hope, Prince of Peace, You speak peace into the world in the way of the Christ child. Help us embody your peace and live as peacemakers that we may called children of God.

      Loving God, in this time of preparation and planning, we thank You for the hope and peace you unfailingly offer us. Show us 

      the creative power of hope. Teach us the peace that comes from justice. Prepare our hearts to be transformed by you, That  

      we may walk in the light of Christ. Amen.

(Sing)

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer Our spirits

by Thine advent here;

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,

and death’s dark shadows put to flight.

Ref.: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.


L1. Prayer of Confession - Pengakuan Dosa

With faith and hope, let us confess our sin…………….

God who is with us, and God who is on the way, we confess that we do not wait or watch for you.

      Works of darkness encumber and distract us. Petty jealousies, hard quarrels, ambitions rooted in selfish desires—they command 

      our attention.

We have ceased to hope for peace and harmony among the nations or for security apart from the defenses we construct.

. . . . . . . . Silence prayer . . . . . . .

We hear your promises, Lord, but dare not trust them.

      God of power and love, awaken us to peace and fit us for your coming, that we may watch for you with confidence and joy. Amin.

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. 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.
