G ATHERING FOR WORSHIP PRELUDE

Musette in D Major, BWV Anh. 126 J.S. Bach (1685-1750) Sarah Settels-Palacios, Piano Becky Vaughn

WELCOME TO BE CENTERED O God, if there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in the nations.

If there is to be peace in the nations, there must be peace in the cities.

If there is to be peace in the cities, there must be peace between neighbors.

If there is to be peace between neighbors, there must be peace in the home.

And, if there is to be peace in the home, there must be peace in the heart.

Give us, O God, peace. Amen. ...inspired by a saying of Lao Tsu (b. 604 BC) CHORAL CALL TO WORSHIP

PROCESSION, HYMN 136

Sing Hallelujah to the Lord/Canta aleluya al Señor (Linda Stassen) Calvary Children’s Choir; Ashley Dalton, Flute Christians All, Your Lord Is Coming PLEADING SAVIOR

LIGHTING THE CANDLE OF PEACE Courtney and Holly Miller Courtney: Because of war, because of what happened in Ferguson and New York, because there is still so much unrest, so much hurt and sorrow in so many places, we light a candle of peace.

Holly: Because hatred is so strong, because so many swords have not yet been beaten into plowshares, we light a candle of peace.

Courtney: May the light from this candle cover the world, warming hearts, showing the way.

Holly: May the light from this candle say to all that God’s peace is coming on earth, as it already is in heaven.

Courtney: Friends, be not afraid, God’s peace is at hand.

A TIME WITH CHILDREN MUSICAL MEDITATION

O Come, Little Children (German Carol) Pa-ta-pan (French Carol) Calvary Children’s Choir; Ashley Dalton, Flute

L ISTENING FOR THE W ORD OF G OD Isaiah 40:1-11 Reverend Glaze 1Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. 2Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the LORD’s hand double for all her sins. 3A voice cries out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. 5Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.’ 6A voice says, ‘Cry out!’ And I said, ‘What shall I cry?’ All people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field. 7The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the LORD blows upon it; surely the people are grass. 8The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever. 9Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings, lift it up, do not fear; say to the cities of Judah, ‘Here is your God!’ 10See, the Lord GOD comes with might, and his arm rules for him; his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 11He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms, and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep.

HEBREW LESSON, P. 581

1Consolaos,

consolaos, pueblo mío, dice vuestro Dios. 2Hablad al corazón de Jerusalén; decidle a voces que su tiempo es ya cumplido, que su pecado es perdonado; que doble ha recibido de la mano de Jehová por todos sus pecados. 3 Voz que clama en el desierto: Preparad camino a Jehová; enderezad calzada en la soledad a nuestro Dios. 4Todo valle sea alzado, y bájese todo monte y collado; y lo torcido se enderece, y lo áspero se allane. 5Y se manifestará la gloria de Jehová, y toda carne juntamente la verá; porque la boca de Jehová ha hablado. 6Voz que decía: Da voces. Y yo respondí: ¿Qué tengo que decir a voces? Que toda carne es hierba, y toda su gloria como flor del campo. 7La hierba se seca, y la flor se marchita, porque el viento de Jehová sopló en ella; ciertamente como hierba es el pueblo. 8Sécase la hierba, marchítase la flor; mas la palabra del Dios nuestro permanece para siempre. 9Súbete sobre un monte alto, anunciadora de Sion; levanta

fuertemente tu voz, anunciadora de Jerusalén; levántala, no temas; di a las ciudades de Judá !Ved aquí al Dios vuestro! 10He aquí que Jehová el Señor vendrá con poder, y su brazo señoreará; he aquí que su recompensa viene con él, y su paga delante de su rostro. 11Como pastor apacentará su rebaño; en su brazo llevará los corderos, y en su seno los llevará; pastoreará suavemente a las recién paridas.

PSALTER We read responsively and sing the Refrain.

Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13 Dwayne Pinkney, Cantor

Refrain. Righteousness and peace, righteousness and peace shall go before the Lord, before the Lord.

Beloved, in mercy you lifted the dark cloud of our guilt and with grace you covered our sins.

The wrath due us, you cancelled. It simply disappeared!

Do it again, O God! Let us know your goodness one more time! Make us to be more than we are, more than we have been. Make us what you, in love, see us to be.

And, then, your love and your mercy will embrace, justice and righteousness will kiss.

And from their unions truth will be born in us—right living, too.

And, by our faithful walking in your ways, balance will be restored to the earth, goodness and blessing will be showered on every people and nation—and, there will be peace.

This is your doing, O Beloved—your good gift! O how we praise and thank you! Refrain.

2 Peter 3:8-15a Reverend Palacios 8Mas, oh amados, no ignoréis esto: que para con el Señor un día es como mil años, y mil años como un día. 9El Señor no retarda su promesa, según algunos la tienen por tardanza, sino que es paciente para con nosotros, no queriendo que ninguno perezca, sino que todos procedan al arrepentimiento. 10Pero el día del Señor vendrá como ladrón en la noche; en el cual los cielos pasarán con grande estruendo, y los elementos ardiendo serán deshechos, y la tierra y las obras que en ella hay serán quemadas. 11Puesto que todas estas cosas han de ser deshechas !cómo no debéis vosotros andar en santa y piadosa manera de vivir, 12esperando y apresurándoos para la venida del día de Dios, en el cual los cielos, encendiéndose, serán deshechos, y los elementos, siendo quemados, se fundirán! 13Pero nosotros esperamos, según sus promesas, cielos nuevos y tierra nueva, en los cuales mora la justicia. 14 Por lo cual, oh amados, estando en espera de estas cosas, procurad con diligencia ser hallados por él sin mancha e irreprensibles, en paz. 15Y tened entendido que la paciencia de nuestro Señor es para salvación.

EPISTLE LESSON, P. 988

8But

do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. 9The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed. 11Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in leading lives of holiness and godliness, 12waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set ablaze and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire? 13But, in accordance with his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home. 14Therefore, beloved, while you are waiting for these things, strive to be found by him at peace, without spot or blemish; 15and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation.

Alleluia Melchior Vulpius (c. 1560 – 1616) Dwayne Pinkney, Cantor

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Adapted from Mark 1

Mark 1:1-8 Truman Robinson 1The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, ‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way; 3the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight” 4John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7He proclaimed, ‘The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. 8I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.’

GOSPEL LESSON, P. 812

1Principio

del evangelio de Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios. 2Como está escrito en Isaías el profeta: He aquí yo envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz, El cual preparará tu camino delante de ti. 3Voz del que clama en el desierto: Preparad el camino del Señor; Enderezad sus sendas. 4Bautizaba Juan en el desierto, y predicaba el bautismo de arrepentimiento para perdón de pecados. 5Y salían a él toda la provincia de Judea, y todos los de Jerusalén; y eran bautizados por él en el río Jordán, confesando sus pecados. 6Y Juan estaba vestido de pelo de camello, y tenía un cinto de cuero alrededor de sus lomos; y comía langostas y miel silvestre. 7Y predicaba, diciendo: Viene tras mí el que es más poderoso que yo, a quien no soy digno de desatar encorvado la correa de su calzado.

8Yo a la verdad os he bautizado con agua; pero él os bautizará con Espíritu Santo.

This is the Gospel of Christ. Thanks be to God. Homecoming Music The Reverend Dr. Joseph Glaze

SERMON

LISTENING IN SILENCE

SHARING COMMUNION That Day of Peace for Which We Long Text, Joseph Glaze; SWEET HOUR That day of peace for which we long, held in our hearts, sung in our song, and as God’s people dreamed of old, may we that new day now behold.

By acts of love and justice done, may peace and wholeness on earth come; let deeds of kindness, gentle words, form now the path—Christ’s steps are heard!

COMMUNION HYMN

As in Christ’s coming on that day, all hurt and tears are put away, Right now today let that day come—why wait till then God’s peace be done?

Let enemies learn now to live, to welcome, bless and to forgive; may all look deeply in each face, and see God’s child, God’s work and grace.

That day of peace when all are free, come now in us, that Christ may see us ever faithful, always round his table with God’s children bound in love and welcome here to share God’s gifts of life with all who care to know God’s love and weightless grace, Christ’s promised reign of peace to taste.

WORSHIP ADVENT: THE WAITING OF AN OPEN HEART. Before we can kneel at the manger, there are before us four long weeks of waiting, of hoping, of reminding ourselves “not yet.” Advent calls us to experience what those who lived before the child felt—the longing of a people who felt as if they were abandoned, yet dreaming of and preparing for the day when another comes and all is made right.
