Preparing for worship

You may be aware that is year I am following a disciple to post an Advent Devotional for each day of the Advent season.  Each Saturday I like to give a preview of the worship at NRN. 

Here is the order of worship we have planned.  I plan to give a warm welcome and opening prayer followed by:




Aaron and Kristin Brickman will light the candles on the Advent Wreath and offer a short prayer.

Then our worship continues with singing:






I will be continuing in the teaching series for this Advent season.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me,

you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have

 the light that leads to life.”                    John 8:12 (NLT)
