CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
P: We are called together to confess our
past wrongs, trusting in God’s
forgiveness and promise of a new
future:
--Silence for Reflection—
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
P: Lord Jesus, yours are the seasons and
the ages. Give us a new heart and a
new spirit: Lord, have mercy.
C: Lord, have mercy.
P: Jesus Christ, you are the beginning and
the end of all that is, including our lives.
Make a new beginning with all of us:
Christ, have mercy.
C: Christ, have mercy.
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
P: Lord Jesus, you breathe your Spirit
on all creation. Make our old world
new again: Lord, have mercy.
C: Lord, have mercy.
C: Have mercy on us, Lord, as we wait
for your coming this Advent season.
Come to us this day and every day
with grace and forgiveness, peace
and justice.
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS For the sake of the church and the world, remake us into the people who will through word and most especially through our actions bear witness to your compassion and righteousness, in our work, in our families, in our random encounters, in our seasonal preparations. Make us a new people to bear witness to your coming kingdom. This we pray in the name of the coming one, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
WORDS OF ASSURANCE:

P: Behold: there is a new heaven, a new
earth and a new city, where the river
of life flows, where the tree of life
bears fruit in every season.
P: This heaven, this city, this river,
this tree are a vision of your life
reborn, restored, and renewed.
Thanks be to God! C: Amen!GATHERING SONG

LIGHTING THE ADVENT WREATH We light the first candle of the Advent wreath to remind ourselves to stay awake, wait and watch for signs of God at work in our world. As we light this first candle, keep us alert, that the visions of the prophets will be fulfilled. Like Mary and Joseph, and all who played a part in the birth of Jesus,
LIGHTING THE ADVENT WREATH keep us ever hopeful that a righteous branch will spring up to show us the way. Keep our vision sharp so that we may recognize Jesus however he comes this Advent. And make us ready to welcome the Lord who is coming again to make all things new!

P: Holy and mysterious God,

promised future and you sent
descendants greater than the stars.
The Hebrew slaves waited for rescue,
and you sent Moses and Miriam to lead
their liberation.TABLE PRAYER Israel waited in exile, and you empowered prophets and poets with your life-giving speech. As the whole world groaned in waiting for release and rebirth, You sent Jesus, born of strong Mary, fathered by humble Joseph, full of wisdom, love and grace for all.
TABLE PRAYER Again, Lord, we await your promised salvation, and like our ancestors in the faith we grow impatient. Renew our faith that you are coming and that our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first became believers.
TABLE PRAYER P: In the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread, and gave thanks; broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: “Take and eat; this is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” P: Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it for all to drink, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin. Do this in remembrance of me.”
TABLE PRAYER
P: Remembering all of your promises of
the past fulfilled, we await the
coming of Christ into our present with hope
for a new creation and a new
beginning.
P: All praise and thanks to you,
Almighty God, through Jesus Christ
our Lord, by the Holy Spirit, as we
await the redemption you have promised.
