By your own eternal Spirit, come to claim us as your own; By your all-sufficient merit, let us share your cross and crown. PASTOR: Advent is a time of preparation and a time of waiting. As we make ready for Christ’s coming, we prepare our sanctuary and our homes with the symbols of Christmas, and we prepare our hearts by opening them to God’s promise. Then, in awesome anticipation, we wait, focusing our hearts and minds on God’s greatest gift to the world, God’s Son, born as a tiny babe in a humble manger in Bethlehem. “For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” - Isaiah 9:6 (NRSV) Let us pray (in unison): Heavenly Creator, as we decorate this sanctuary and our homes, fill our hearts and minds with your love and peace.

  • Hanging of the Greens Reader's Script November 27, 2005 the Spirit Of
    Hanging of the Greens Reader’s Script November 27, 2005 WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Debra PRELUDE The Spirit of Hope NARRATION Debra: How often have we heard people say, “I haven’t got the Christmas spirit yet,” or “I just can’t seem to get the Christmas spirit this year”? It takes a while – some years longer than others. But eventually, as we hear the carols, see the tinseled trees, and taste the cookies, we begin to recapture the feelings of a family Christmas and the spirit returns Duncan: As Christians we look for something more in Christmas than the tangible and material things: something deeper and more significant – a spirit of hope from God’s own heart. Christmas with the family can be fraught with tension and anxiety and the focus is often on making sure this year is better than last. Because we have so many things to prepare, we miss the hope of the season – the promise of a precious Savior Son who would be come the Lamb of God, sent to take away the sins of the world. This hope is the core of the Christmas spirit for all who believe. Rob: It is this deeper spirit – this echo of that earliest Christmas – that we seek today as we hang the greens and as we share in the one loaf and one cup. As we prepare the sanctuary, we welcome back some old friends: the Advent candles, the evergreens, the Christmas tree, carols and poinsettias. As we celebrate at the Lord’s table, we will be reminded again that we belong to an everlasting family – the family of God.

With branches of cedar, the tree of royalty. How shall we prepare this house for the coming of eternal Christ? With garlands of pine and fir, whose leaves are ever living, ever green. How shall we prepare this house for the coming of our savior? With wreaths of holly and ivy, telling of his passion, death, and resurrection. How shall we prepare our hearts fro the coming of the Son of God? By hearing again the words of prophets, who foretold the saving work of God. For God did not send the Son into the world to condemn, but that the world might be saved. Glory to God in the highest. God will send a righteous king…Jeremiah 23: 5-6 In ancient times the cedar was revered as the tree of royalty. It also signified immortality and was used for purification. We place the cedar branch as a sign of Christ who reigns forever. The prophet declares a child will be born…Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 Because the needles of pine and fire trees appear not to die each season, the ancients saw them as signs of things that last forever. Isaiah tells us that there will be no end to the reign of the Messiah. Therefore, we hang this wreath of evergreens shaped in a circle which itself has no end to signify the eternal reign of Jesus Christ.
