Responsive Reading from Psalm 25
Leader: To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
People: O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame; do not  let my enemies exult over me.
Leader: Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame; let them be  ashamed who wantonly treacherous.
People: Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.
Leader: Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my  salvation; for you I wait all day long.
All: Be mindful of your mercy, O LORD, and of your steadfast love,  For they have been from of old.

Unison Invocation
How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given.
We will be silent now, O Lord, and expectant…
May we receive the gifts we need, so that we might become
the gifts others need.
We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Hymn “O Little Town of Bethlehem” UMH #230
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.

Old Testament Reading - Jeremiah 33:14-16
Gospel Reading - Luke 21:29-36

Doxology “Joy to the World” UMH #246
Joy to the world! The Lord is come
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing

Emmanuel, Emmanuel,
His name is called Emmanuel.
God with us, revealed in us,
His name is called Emmanuel.

Unison Benediction
Be people of hope.
Let hope live in your heart and share the hope of Christ with all you meet.
Share hope by listening to someone’s story. Share hope by praying for our world.
As you go out into the wonder of God’s creations, share hope with those you meet.
Amen.
