The bulletin for this service is below. Second Sunday of Advent, December 5, 2021 (A Service of Holy Communion) You are invited to rise, in body or spirit, for those parts of the service marked with an asterisk (*) Invitatory: Three settings of “Veni, veni, Emmanuel” by Kenneth Leighton (1929-1988); by Noël Goemanne (1926-2010); by Gerald Near (b. 1942) Welcome and Announcements: Dean Thames *Hymn No. 101: Comfort, Comfort, O My People (Freu dich sehr) *Call to Worship: Dean Boden Leader: We have lit a second candle as a sign of the coming light of Christ. Advent means coming. We are preparing ourselves for the days when the nations shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them. (All sing) O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee O Israel! O come, O Wisdom from on high, and order all things far and nigh; to us the path of knowledge show, and help us in that way to go. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel. *Confession - Leader: Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. All: Have mercy on us, most merciful Creator; in your compassion forgive us our sins, known and unknown, things done and left undone; and so uphold us by your Spirit that we may serve you in newness of life, to the honor and glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen. *Assurance of Pardon: Friends, hear the Good News of Advent. God's love is known across time, in Jesus Christ, and at this very moment. Hear these words of assurance that God, who makes all things new, also covers us with grace, love, and forgiveness. Thanks be to God. Amen. Reading: Philippians 1:3-11 I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because you hold me in your heart, for all of you share in God’s grace with me, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the compassion of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you to determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God. Anthem: Come, O Long-Expected Jesus (Jefferson; Charles Wesley, alt.) Come, O long-expected Jesus, born to set all people free; from our fears and sins release us; grant us your true liberty. Israel’s strength and consolation, hope to all the earth impart; dear desire of every nation, enter every longing heart. Born all people to deliver, born a child, you came to reign! Born to rule on earth forever, come, be known to us again. By your own eternal Spirit, come to claim us as your own; by your all-sufficient merit, let us share your cross and crown. Reading: Luke 3:1-6 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. He went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’” Sermon: “Impatience is a Virtue” by Professor Heath Carter *Hymn No. 121: All Earth Is Waiting (Taulé) Prayers of the People: Otis Byrd, Jr. (If there are prayer requests that you would like to share, please raise your hand.) After each petition: Leader: God of love and mercy, People: Hear our prayer. Lord’s Prayer: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. *Exchange of the Peace Leader: The peace of God be always with you. People: And also with you. (The people may exchange the peace with one another.) Offertory Sentence Music at the Offering: A Tender Shoot by Colin Davey (Otto Goldschmidt, tr. William Bartholomew) A tender shoot has started up from a root of grace, as ancient seers imparted from Jesse’s holy race: it blooms without blight, blooms in the cold midwinter, turning darkness into light. This shoot Isaiah taught us, from Jesse’s root should spring; the Virgin Mary brought us the branch of which we sing. Our God of endless might gave her this child to save us, thus turning darkness into light. *Doxology: (Sung to the tune of hymn no. 27) Lasst uns erfreuen Praise God from whom all blessings flow, praise God all creatures here below, alleluia, alleluia. Praise God above ye heavenly hosts, Creator, Christ, and Holy Ghost, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! *Communion Invitation to Communion Kyrie: Text: Ancient Greek; Music: Russian Orthodox tradition Leader: This is the joyful feast of the people of God. All: Let us rejoice and be glad. Gloria: Music: Pablo Sosa. 1988 (Cueca dance rhythm) Leader: Creator God, We bless you and praise you, you spoke and the Earth was formed. You drew a breath and the sea rose. All: All of creation sings your praises. Sanctus: Text and music: Anon, Argentina Leader: From the dust of the Earth, you created our bodies. You gave us our senses and blessed us with the power of reason and love. Yet we turned against you and one another. All: Have mercy on us, mighty God. Leader: And so you sent us Jesus, the incarnate one, to show us how to love you. He announced good news to the poor, release to the captive, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed. All: Through all his life and death, He reconciled us to you and to one another. Agnus Dei: Music: Kirchenordnung, Braunschweig, 1528 Leader: Witnessing to that reconciliation, on the night he was arrested, in company with his good friends, Jesus took bread. After giving thanks, he broke it and said: All: Take. Eat. This is my body, which is given for you. Do this, remembering me. Leader: After supper, he took a cup of wine and said: All: “Drink this, all of you. This is the new covenant, sealed i

VALPARAISO â Mayor Matt Murphy said a residential market study underway remains a priority for him and will be released once it is complete. "I've said before and I underscore that I am committed to this study initiative 100 percent," he said in a prepared statement. "It will be helpful to gain an even clearer picture of Valparaiso's housing stock and future needs." Murphy expects the study to be completed and released within the next eight to 10 weeks. The statement comes in the wake of news that Valparaiso City Councilman Robert Cotton filed a complaint Monday with the Indiana public access counselor, claiming city administrators are wrongly denying him access to the data that has come in so far as part of a $50,000 taxpayer-funded study.
