Service, 7th December

Sunday, 7th December,  Advent 2
    Morning Praise
11:15 am
Worship Leader: Jonathan Acker
Service Leader/Preacher: Nabil Shehadi    “Fruitful Waiting”

Isaiah 40:1-11    2 Peter 3:8-18    Mark 1:1-8

As we continue our Advent Kingdom journey to Christmas, in our readings today we see this Kingdom as announced, arriving and awaited. How long do we wait for the fulfillment of the Kingdom? Has God forgotten about this world? Do we wait in limbo? No! God is patiently  calling all to know Him. Peter reminds us that we have a world to win and grace to explore.

Advent Prayers
Voice 1: God of the past who has fathered us and mothered us
All We are here to thank you.

Voice 2: God of the future who is always ahead of us
All: We are here to trust you.

Voice 1 (or 3): God of the present here in the midst of us
All: We are here to praise you.

Voice 2 (or 4): God of life beyond us within us
All: We rejoice in your glorious love.
