*Hymn No. 203 - Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
Confession of Sin - (unison)
Heavenly Father, we confess that we have failed to live as children of God. In the things we have done, and in the things we have left undone, we have sinned against you. Please, O Lord, forgive our sins, we pray, in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon - Psalm 51:15–17
O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Call to Worship - Psalm 96:1–3
Oh sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth! Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
Invocation
*Hymn No. 208 - O Come, All Ye Faithful
Scripture Reading - Isaiah 40:1–11
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the LORD’S hand double for all her sins.
A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
A voice says, “Cry!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the LORD blows on it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.
Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good news; lift it up, fear not; say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!” Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.
Prayer of Confession - (unison)
God of love, in the wrong we have done and in the good we have not done,
we have sinned in ignorance; we have sinned in weakness; we have sinned through our own deliberate fault.
We are truly sorry. We repent and turn to you.
Forgive us and renew our lives through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon - Romans 5:1–2
Since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
*Hymn No. 211 - God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen
