Family Worship Services for Advent and Christmas Day Family Worship Services For Advent and Christmas Day FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT Leader: O come, O come, Immanuel. Come, dwell with us. Family: Show us your way. Make your home with us. Save us from our sins and wrong. Leader: For long years, prophets and psalmists prayed in faith. They awaited the day when the Savior would dwell among His people. Finally, the days were accomplished. “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son to show us the way and save all people from their sins.” (Light the first candle on the Advent wreath) Family: We light the Prophecy candle as we prepare to receive our King. Let us recall the prophet’s faithful promises: Scripture: Isaiah 9:2, 6 O come, O come, Immanuel, and ransom captive Israel That mourns in lowly exile here until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! O come, desire of nations, bind all peoples in one heart and mind: Bid envy, strife, and discord cease: Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace. Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! Prayer: Dear God, prepare our hearts for the celebration of Jesus’ birthday. Rid us of selfish wants and unfair judgments. Fill us with your love and peace. Amen. SECOND SUNDAY IN ADVENT Leader: “No room! No room here!” Family: “No room for Jesus?” Leader: Where is there room for the babe of Bethlehem, the Lord of love? Truly, the tragedy of the first Christmas, when the holy family could find no room and went to a stable, is as real today as it was in Bethlehem. Can we find room, room for Jesus? When the needy, the friendless, the forgotten ones knock at the doors of our homes or pass by our windows, what will our answer be? (Light two candles on the Advent wreath) Family: We light again the Prophecy candle in expectation of our Lord, and today we light a second candle, the Bethlehem candle, as we prepare room for Him. Scripture: Luke 2:1-7 O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant! O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem! Come and behold Him, born the King of angels; O come, let us adore Him; O come, let us adore Him; O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord. Prayer: Let not our hearts be busy inns that have no room for Thee, but candles for the Living Christ and His Nativity. Response: O come to our home, Lord Jesus; there is room in our home for You. THIRD SUNDAY IN ADVENT Leader: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…” Family: “…that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Leader: The promise of God’s great gift was to everyone, regardless of race or nation. The angels sang, “Good news of great joy, which will come to all the people…on earth, peace among men with whom he is pleased.” How long it has taken the people of the world to discover that God’s gift was for whoever would accept it! Each race and nation has discovered that Jesus belongs to all! And so our Christmas is enriched because all the world comes to the manger singing songs of joy. Let us come to Christmas together, then. Let us sing each other’s songs of joy, uniting our voices in a single prayer for Christ’s peace and love for all. (Light three candles on the Advent wreath) Family: Again we light the Prophecy candle, recalling the promises of old; the Bethlehem candle, as we continually prepare our hearts for the greatest gift; and today, the Shepherd’s candle, as we remember the messengers who shared the story of Christ’s birth. Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Shepherds, in the field abiding, watching o’er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing, yonder shines the infant Light; Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn King. Sages, leave your contemplations; brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great desire of nations; ye have seen His natal star; Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn King. Prayer: We thank You, our God, for Your gift of Jesus to the whole world. We thank you that His love and compassion for all peoples bring joy and hope for each person in every nation. Help us to feel lovingly toward the people of every land. Encourage us to do our part to fill the world with Your good will and peace. Help each of us to be a messenger of Your love. Amen. FOURTH SUNDAY IN ADVENT Leader: “What child is this who laid to rest on Mary’s lap is sleeping?” Family: “This, this is Christ the King!” Scripture: John 3:16, 17 Leader: Christ came to us out of abundant love, giving His all for humankind. Let us therefore review in our own minds the true meaning of Christmas. Christ came to us in history, and left us His spirit and a promise to return and claim those who would follow Him. (Light four candles on the Advent wreath) Family: Let us now light the candles on this Fourth Sunday in Advent as we approach the coming of our Lord: the first, to symbolize the period of awaiting the Messiah’s birth; the second, to symbolize the preparation we must make in our homes and in our hearts; the third, the sharing of Christ with all the world; and today, the fourth, known as the Angels’ candle, symbolic of Christ’s love and final coming. Hark, the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth, and mercy mild. God and sinners reconciled!” Joyful, all ye nations, rise, join the triumph of the skies; With th’ angelic host proclaim, ”Christ is born in Bethlehem!” Hark, the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!” Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail, the Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, risen with healing in His wings. Mild He lays His glory by, born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth. Born to give them second birth. Hark, the herald angels sing. “Glory to the newborn King!” Prayer: O God, be born anew in our hearts this Christmastide. Help us remember Jesus for whom “there was no room.” May there be no people in our town who cannot see the Christmas star or hear the angels sing because their hearts are left dark through our neglect. Amen. Response: “Come, Lord Jesus.” CHRISTMAS DAY Leader: Prepare us now for Christmas. Family: And give us your peace. (Light all candles on the Advent wreath) Family: We light these candles in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Joy to the world, the Lord is come; let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing. He rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nations prove the glories of His righteousness, and wonders of His love. Scripture: I John 4:7-16 Leader: As we review again the wonder of Christ’s birth, let us review in our own hearts the true meaning of Christmas and let us covenant to abide in this truth always. Family: Reveal to us your truth and fill us with joy and peace in believing. O Holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Immanuel. Prayer: Dear God, enter now into our hearts on this Christmas Day and remain with us forever. Help us to share Your presence with all people everywhere. Grant to us your peace and help us to proclaim “Peace on earth, good will toward all.” Amen. December 2013 .

  • The Advent Wreath
    THE ADVENT WREATH We know that ADVENT means COMING, and we know that Christmas is coming, but the season of Advent reminds us there is more to Christmas preparations than gift lists, frantic shopping, school plays and party schedules, etc. All the December activities make it easy to put off preparing our hearts for the true meaning of our Christmas celebration. The Advent wreath helps us keep a balance in our lives during the weeks of expectancy. The tradition of the family gathered around the table before a meal, lighting Advent candles, saying Advent prayers and sharing appropriate readings helps us to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ Child -- - as for many centuries God prepared the world for the birth of Jesus. The circle of the wreath reminds us that God has no beginning and no end. The evergreens represent the promise of eternal life. The candles represent Jesus’ overcoming the darkness of hatred and evil with the light of joy and love. The brief ritual described below, and on the following pages, is to be used each evening when the family gathers, beginning on the first of the four Sundays in Advent and continuing each day of the week. Adapt it if you like to include other prayers and verses. Some prefer to use “Advent Blue” candles. Other traditions use red or white. You may also choose to add a white “Christ candle” in the center to light on Christmas Eve. THE FIRST WEEK IN ADVENT A family member lights one (only) purple candle, saying: “I light this candle to remind us that we must prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ Child.” COLLECT for the first week in Advent (said by all): “Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your son, Jesus Christ, came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

We wait for him to be born again in our hearts, our classrooms, our homes, our parish community, and in the whole world.

  • Lighting the Advent Wreath in the Tradition of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love
    Lighting the Advent Wreath in the Tradition of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love Many churches are used to lighting candles of hope, peace, joy, and love. This is written for that tradition, using scriptures for the day from the Revised Common Lectionary. In places where the tradition is to use families to light the Advent wreath, it is advised that family be defined by Christ—as those groups seeking to follow the Lord—not just as biological family. Even the smallest children, who cannot read yet, can participate by announcing why we’re lighting the various candles. These are designed to open the worship service. The following is provided as something that might be helpful for the newsletter and/or bulletin: In the ancient world, various peoples lit fires to mark the turning of the light into winter’s season and to pray for the return of the light. The church has Christianized that practice in the lighting of the Advent wreath. To us, these candles are signs of the growing light of Christ who is coming again in all fullness into the darkness of our world. Until the dawning of that Great Day, we watch and wait in Holy Spirit for Christ’s coming into the darkness of our world, lighting candles of hope, peace, joy, and love; and remembering the promises of God with prayer. YEAR A: First Sunday in Advent: Hope After the greeting in the name of the Lord, the pastor says the following: Watch and wait for Christ’s coming! Light candles of hope, peace, joy, and love, remembering the promises of God with prayer.

  • Advent Wreath Service for Personal Use
    Advent Wreath Service For Personal Use Traditionally, Advent wreaths are constructed of a circle of evergreen branches into which four candles are inserted, representing the four weeks of Advent. Ideally, three candles are purple and one is rose, or all purple can be used but white candles can also be used. Vigil candles in their glass containers work well. The purple candles in particular symbolize the prayer, penance, and preparatory sacrifices and goods works undertaken at this time. The rose candle is lit on the third Sunday, Gaudete Sunday, signifying rejoicing, because the faithful have arrived at the midpoint of Advent, when their preparation is now half over and they are close to Christmas. The progressive lighting of the candles symbolizes the expectation and hope surrounding our Lord’s first coming into the world and the anticipation of his second coming to judge the living and the dead. Blessing of Wreath To be prayed before using of the wreath the first time: Lord God, your Church joyfully awaits the coming of its Savior, who enlightens our hearts and dispels the darkness of ignorance and sin. Pour forth your blessings upon us as we light the candles of this wreath; may their light reflect the splendor of Christ, who is Lord, for ever and ever. Amen. Note on the Advent Wreath Prayers: Each Sunday and each day for the following week, the appropriate number of candles are lighted. A family may light the candles and say the week’s prayer before dinner, adding the Meal Blessing (such as “Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive through Christ our Lord.

Make a straight path for our God!’ And so, John the Baptizer came, telling everyone to change their lives and be baptized so their sins would be forgiven. Many people around Jerusalem went to the desert to see John. They confessed their sins, and were baptized in the Jordan River.
