DisciplesNet Worship # 57, Advent 1: Hope (Manns 11 27 11)
Welcome to DisciplesNet Church. This week's worship follows the tradition of seeing advent as a time of anticipating the birth of a Messiah, as foretold in prophecy. Beginning this week, we will light a new candle each week on our Advent Wreath, each built upon the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love that lead up in anticipation to the birth of the Christ child.
If you have an advent candle, you may like to light yours as we light ours during worship. Our worship is rich with music and opportunities to sing along, an inspiring message of hope from Rev. Josephine Manns, and communion.
We welcome to this worship Rev. Dean Phelps, who in addition to playing and singing with our music, reads our opening scripture. This worship also features the increasingly popular advent song, "Let Us Walk in the Light of the Lord," written by DisciplesNet Associate Pastor, Audrey Borschel. Audrey grants permission for churches to copy the score (found on DisciplesNet Faceboook page) to this work and use it freely for worship and practice purposes.
We hope you will be blessed by this worship, and tell your friends about our church on the internet highway with walls as wide as the world, doors that never close, and always room at the table.
