Dec 19 Advent 2021

Pastor: Siebert Van Houten

Advent is a time of waiting.
We wait in anticipation of Christmas, the celebration of Christ’s birth.
We wait in expectation and hope for the day when Christ comes again.

Prelude: 

God’s Greeting  and Call to Worship
Song: Here is Love

Candle Lighting: Joy (Teresa, Reuben, Kaleb)

Testimony of Faith: Our World Belongs to God #23

Remembering the promise to reconcile the world to himself,
God joined our humanity in Jesus Christ – the eternal Word made flesh.
He is the long-awaited Messiah, one with us and one with God, fully human and fully divine,
conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
