Third Sunday of Advent
10:00am Sanctuary
"Waiting with Joy"
A note of joyful expectation marks today’s worship. Isaiah announces that
the desert shall rejoice and blossom, and Jesus points to the unexpected
and transforming signs of God’s reign. We wait with patience for the
coming of the Lord, even as we rejoice at his presence among us this day:
in word and holy supper, in church and in our homes, in silent reflection
and in works of justice and love. We pray that God would open our eyes
and ears to the wonders of Christ’s advent among us.

During the season of Advent, we mark the four weeks before Christmas by lighting the candles of the Advent wreath.
This simple and beautiful ritual helps us prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ — both his birth in Bethlehem and his promised return.
The wreath itself is a circle, reminding us of God’s unending love and faithfulness. The evergreen branches symbolize the hope of eternal life.
Each candle has its own meaning, drawing us deeper into Advent’s themes:
Hope Candle: We remember the prophets who spoke God’s promises and the hope we have in Christ’s coming.
Love Candle: We remember Mary’s “yes” to God and the love that takes on flesh in Jesus.
Joy Candle: Often called the Gaudete candle, it invites us to rejoice as God draws near.
Peace Candle: We hear John the Baptist’s call to prepare the way and make room for God’s peace.
Christ Candle (Christmas Eve/Day): At the center of the wreath, the Christ candle proclaims that the true Light has come into the world.
As we light each candle, we remember that Christ’s light shines in our darkness—guiding, comforting, and calling us into God’s mission of hope, peace, joy, and love.
ADULT SUNDAY'S BIBLE BASICS
The Contemporary Bible Class is meeting in the Conference Room at 9:00am near the Parish Hall.
Rather than studying the scriptures, we will stepping back and studying
the Bible itself.
What is it?
How did it come to be?
How is it structured?
What is its value to the world and to us?
This is based on a Lutheran series by Augsburg Press and includes short DVD’s.
It is thought provoking and
sometimes challenging.
Everyone is invited to this series.
We meet at 9:00 Sunday mornings.
Come grow with us!
