Preparing for Worship - The Second Sunday of Advent 2013

As we prepare for worship tomorrow at NRN I am very excited about the message the Lord has laid upon my heart. I love the Christmas Season.  This Sunday we sing several favorite carols and offer our praise to the new born King.  I hope you will sing along and prepare your heart to join us tomorrow in worship together at NRN.

 

 

We begin with a great song to call us to worship:

 



Followed by the lighting of the candles on the Advent Wreath for the Second Sunday of Advent:

We continue in songs of worship:





We pause for a special time of praise....  then continue in our songs:




As we bring our offerings of tithes and offerings to the Lord we will life our voices:





Now it is time for the preaching of the Word:

 

  BEING PRESENT THIS CHRISTMAS

This is what God the LORD says—he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: "I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. "I am the LORD; that is my name!      I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you."                                                                                                            Isaiah 42:5-9
