Liturgy for wherever you are

Second Sunday of Advent

December 4, 2022

welcome to WORSHIP

Liturgy is an ancient word for worship that is usually translated as “the work of the people.” You’ll hear the voices of our pastoral staff and our community each week, and we are so grateful that this is the work we get to do together. We prayerfully plan our worship services trusting that the Spirit will use each element to shape us and our desires as we pursue the path of Christ.

You can give here! ❤️

O Come Let Us Adore Him

C. Frederick Oakeley | John Francis Wade

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

O come, all ye faithful
Come, let us adore Him.
O come, all ye faithful
Come, let us adore Him!

Sing, choirs of angels; sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above!
Glory to God, glory in the highest!

O sing, hallelujah! He alone is worthy!
O sing, hallelujah! He alone is worthy!

Yes, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus to Thee be all glory giv’n:
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing

O sing, hallelujah! He alone is worthy!
O sing, hallelujah! He alone is worthy!

Be Still My Soul

Jane Laurie Borthwick | Jason Ingram | Kari Jobe | Kathrina Amalia von Schlegel

Be still my soul the Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God to order and provide
In ev'ry change He faithful will remain
Be still my soul thy best thy heav'nly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end

Be still my soul thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past
Thy hope thy confidence let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last
Be still my soul the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below

In You I rest
In You I found my hope
In You I trust
You never let me go
I place my life within Your hands alone
Be still my soul

Be still my soul the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment grief and fear are gone
Sorrow forgot Love's purest joys restored
Be still my soul when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last

Lord, I Need You

Christy Nockels | Daniel Carson | Jesse Reeves | Kristian Stanfill | Matt Maher

Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
And without You, I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart

Lord I need You, oh I need You
Ev’ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You

Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where you are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus You’re my hope and stay

Doxology

Thomas Ken

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Lindsay welcomed and invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Axel and Taya lit the candle of peace and read our Advent litany. Lindsay led us in communal prayer. Faith read scripture. John Jay provided us with a teaching to feed our spirits and offered us a benediction. Chip led us in a time of communion. Vivian invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Paul provided the offertory. Our other musicians this morning were Leslie, Astyn, Rick, Chris B, and the FBCP Choir. Chip reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Harriet worked her technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
