FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT Hayes Barton UMC Brass Members Seeking God First…Growing in the Knowledge of God ORDER OF WORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENTS GATHERING AND PRAISE PRELUDE Savior of the Nations, Come The text is Hymn 214 On This Day Arr. Michel Rondeau On this day earth shall ring with the song children sing to the Lord, Christ our King, born on earth to save us; him the Father gave us. LIGHTING THE ADVENT WREATH CANDLES (participant list on back) The Grace of God is coming, bringing salvation to all! Light the First, Second and Third Candles Scripture Lesson: Romans 1:1-7 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures, the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness by resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name, including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, To all God’s beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Paul reminds us of the importance of being called to the cause of Jesus Christ. Who are those who are set apart? Make no mistake…it is all of us! We are the family of God. The grace brought (and bought) for us in God’s child, our savior, brings us to wholeness, not once a year, but 24/7. A baby in a manger, a child nurtured by loving parents, a youth with vision and hope, an adult with fears of the future are all welcome in God’s amazing presence. In Sierra Leone, with 50 percent of the population being 15 years of age and younger, being God’s family brings hope for the future. In the language of the Christians in Sierra Leone: God dei (God provides)! Come and experience the wonder of God’s presence. We are your family! Our God has loved us forever without beginning or end. Our hearts are open to receive love, peace, and healing. Share God’s love with all you meet. We are ready to serve. May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing, so that we may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Leaving riches without number, born within a cattle stall; this the everlasting wonder, Christ was born the Lord of all. Born Thy people to deliver, born a child, and yet a King, born to reign in us forever, now Thy gracious kingdom bring. By Thine own eternal Spirit rule in all our hearts alone; by Thine own sufficient merit, raise us to Thy glorious throne. LATECOMERS MAY BE SEATED NOW. TIME WITH YOUNG DISCIPLES Laurie Perry (11:00 - Children, ages 2-5/K, may go to Extended Session.) Matthew 1:18-25 Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means, “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus.

Rick Clayton RESPONSE TO THE WORD *HYMN *HYMN LightHouse Service – Intergenerational Activities Team (Fellowship Pathway) PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD GOSPEL LESSON SENDING FORTH Arr. Wilberg (choir sings verses 1 & 2, all sing verses 3 & 4; stand as directed) Come, Thou long-expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free; from our fears and sins release us; let us find our rest in Thee. Israel’s strength and consolation, hope of all the earth Thou art; dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart. Joy to those who long to see thee, Dayspring from on high, appear; come, thou promised Rod of Jesse, of thy birth we long to hear! O’er the hills the angels singing news, glad tidings of a birth; “Go to him, your praises bringing; Christ the Lord has come to earth.” What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part; Yet what I can I give him; give my heart.

They mean that God is with us and that God saves us. The first name points to God’s purpose for creation, and the second to the fact that God accomplishes that purpose is spite of human sin. This is the truth that makes holiday miracles possible in spite of holiday disasters. Methodist Home for Children Christmas Eve Services THANK YOU! THANK YOU! As a result of the efforts of volunteers in our congregation, many of the older children sponsored by the Methodist Home for Children will have a much merrier and “more fashionable!” Christmas! The gift cards have been delivered to the precious families and Christmas morning will be blessed with HBUMC love! Thank you so much for the support of this important community organization throughout the year. I hope you will consider attending the “Winter’s Tale” Gala on January 25 at the Raleigh Convention Center. This is a night of music, dining, silent and live auctions, and best of all, a great opportunity to learn more about the families served by MHC. This year’s speaker, Katie Beers, will share her personal experiences of survival and recovery through the Foster Home process. Katie’s bestseller, Buried Memories, is available in bookstores. HBUMC members have given generously of time and energy to the largest fundraiser sponsored by MHC. Gala chairpersons during the past ten years have included Laurie Barwick, Perri Anderson, Melanie Crockett, Tracy Vinson, Mary June Jones, Susan Kane, Jackie Abbott, and Jennie Hayman. To learn more about the Gala, please visit awinterstale.org or contact Jennifer Cooper at [email protected] or 919-754–3625. Again, thank you for allowing the light of Christ to shine through us! Jackie Abbott, MHC Shepherd for HBUMC Tuesday, December 24, at 3, 5, 7 & 11 pm Please join us for one of our four worship services on this holy night. The 3 & 5 pm services are family-friendly services. Communion will be served at all four services. Childcare (0-5/K) will be offered at 3, 5 & 7 pm. There will be a live nativity for all services with luminary. “Welcome!” “Good Morning!” “So glad you’re here!” Simple words, yet so meaningful to those who walk thru the church doors on Sunday morning. Each Sunday, greeters extend a warm welcome to encourage all who gather to worship. As a member of HBUMC, I would like you to prayerfully consider serving as a “Greeter.” Please consider committing to 2 Sundays/ year when you are already at HB. Each time you serve will require 30 minutes or less - but your service is critical to establishing our welcoming, accepting, and inviting environment. Here is what a Greeter does: 1. Meets people as they enter the church. 2. Greets them with a smile and a friendly, “Good morning.” 3. Helps people find answers to any questions they have. 4. Ensures visitors aren’t lost in the shuffle. Return this form to Jennifer or email the information to [email protected].
