Drawn to the light
1.
People who walk in darkness have sought
a light in the heart of the darkest night.
Just when we thought all would be lost
we were drawn to the light of God. Slide13
Drawn to the lightDawn is in sight! Gone is the night!
Drawn to the light and the morning.
Glorious and bright, oh what a sight
to be drawn to the light of God.Slide14
Drawn to the light2. How can we tell a heaven from hell
if everyone dwells in the dark of night?
Morning dispels, gently compels,
and we’re drawn to the light of God.Slide15
Drawn to the lightDawn is in sight! Gone is the night!
Drawn to the light and the morning.
Glorious and bright, oh what a sight
to be drawn to the light of God.Slide16
Drawn to the light3. Where is the sun? Oh there will be none
— the Lamb is the one who is shining bright.
Bids us to come; life has begun
when we’re drawn to the light of God. Slide17
Drawn to the lightDawn is in sight! Gone is the night!
Drawn to the light and the morning.
Glorious and bright, oh what a sight
to be drawn to the light of God.

CONFESSION OF SIN
M: Friends
in Christ:
In
this Advent Season we are called to repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. So let us confess our sins to God our Father, because Jesus Christ has come to forgive us our sins
.Slide19
CONFESSION OF SIN
C: O
God, as we begin a new church year, as we think of the year passing, we see the reality of the world, hunger, poverty, loneliness, disease, emptiness and despair. Our best efforts seem to change nothing. We are ready to give up. Forgive us.Slide20
CONFESSION OF SIN
C:
In this time of Advent, we pray that you would enable us to see the signs of your breaking through the tinsel and glitter we use to hide behind. Help us to face reality with patience and hope instead of becoming indifferent to the world's evil. Slide21
CONFESSION OF SIN
C: Empower
us to prepare for Christ's coming as you clean up the clutter of our lives and create a welcoming space for your presence in our
lives.Slide22
Forgiveness OF SIN
M: Hear the Good News! God has forgiven you through the birth, life, death and resurrection of our Lord and
Saviour
Jesus Christ. Receive God's forgiveness by believing this Good News. Through Christ, God calls each one of us to take our parts in the story of God's love and care, the journey of discipleship.Slide23
Forgiveness OF SIN
C: Lord Jesus Christ, you call us to join the journey and you enable us to begin again and again. We come in our own different ways, walking in our own styles, at our own speeds. Yes, we come to join the journey, we come to be your disciples.Slide24
Forgiveness OF SIN
M: Come, as we walk towards God's future for us: a future of adventure and risk, that demands endurance and patience; a future that offers enrichment and excitement, without the false claims of being easy, a future of discipleship.
C: We come to join the journey of Jesus today!Slide25

1 John 4:13-21 CEV
R
: The 2
nd
Reading is written in chapter 4 of 1
st
John beginning at verse
13.
13
God has given us his Spirit. That is how we know that we are one with him, just as he is one with us. Slide43
1 John 4:13-21 CEV
14
God
sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world. We saw his Son and are now telling others about him.

God stays one with everyone who openly says that Jesus is the Son of God. That's how we stay one with God
16
and are sure that God loves us
.Slide44
1 John 4:13-21 CEV
God
is love. If we keep on loving others, we will stay one in our hearts with God, and he will stay one with us.

18
A real love for others will chase those worries away. Slide45
1 John 4:13-21 CEV
The
thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows that we have not really learned to love.
19
We love because God loved us first. Slide46
1 John 4:13-21 CEV
20
But
if we say we love God and don't love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don't love the people we can see? Slide47

commandment that God has given us is: "Love God and love each other!"

Luke 67-80 CEV
He
has come to save his people.
69
Our God has given us a mighty Saviour from the family of David his servant.
70
Long ago the Lord promised by the words of his holy prophets
71
to save us from our enemies and from everyone who hates us. Slide50
Luke 67-80 CEV
72
God
said he would be kind to our people and keep his sacred promise.
73
He told our ancestor Abraham
74
that he would rescue us from our enemies.
Then we could serve him without fear,
75
by being holy and good as long as we live
.Slide51
Luke 67-80 CEV
76
You
, my son, will be called a prophet of God in heaven above. You will go ahead of the Lord to get everything ready for him.
77
You will tell his people that they can be saved when their sins are forgiven. Slide52
Luke 67-80 CEV

love and kindness will shine upon us like the sun that rises in the sky.

complacency.Slide56

When we are comfortable
And at our ease
When the fire is lit
But eyes are closed
You break in

dependency.Slide57
R

Our daily prayers
Humble hearts
Lay souls bare
You break
in.
C: You break
in.Slide58
R

When defences are down
With an Angel's shout
Or the quietest
sound.
You break
in.
C: You break in
R: And we
change.
C: And all things change
R: When you break
in.Slide59
Statement of faith
C: We
believe in God, the one who comes before us and goes behind us, creating life and opportunities to love and care for the world.
We
believe in Jesus Christ who walks with us into real life each day. He is God, yet human like us and experienced all life's joys and pains and challenges like we do. Slide60
Statement of faith
C: But
his love is so great that not sin nor suffering, nor even death could stop it. Today our Lord Jesus lives and his love continues to bring new life to the world. We believe in the Holy Spirit who comes like the wind and blows in and through us to bring God's power and light to all the world. Slide61
Statement of faith
C: The
Spirit breathes life into us, the body of Christ we call the Church, and enables us to follow the way of Christ. We believe in God, who goes before and behind, with, in and through us, bringing hope and life and newness to the world
. Amen.
