Out of the waters of the deep, God brought forth the earth to sustain all life.In the time of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, God's people Israel passed through the Red Sea waters from slavery to freedom and crossed the flowing Jordan to enter the promised land. In the fullness of time, God sent Jesus Christ who was nurtured in the water of Mary’s womb. Jesus was baptized by John in the water of the Jordan, became living water to a woman at the Samaritan well, washed the feet of the disciples, and sent them forth to baptize all nations by water and the Holy Spirit.It is this God in whom we find life, meaning, love, and affirmation. We place our faith and hope in God, the Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit, who uses water to renew and to give life to all of us, God's beloved children. Gloria Patri No. 579                                                               Glory be to God the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,World without end.

We know that hatred and violence will continue to exist. We know that death and separation will continue to be a part of our lives.But because we are an Advent people, we know that love will win in the end. The Holy One is always coming, to make this world home, to make this world whole, all that was, is, and ever will be.And in our waiting and our hoping, we work and worship, pray and play, in all things hoping that peace, love, and joy will reign in our lives and in our world, now and forever.(The text is by Rev.

For us, Advent is a time of waiting, and so we wait. We wait for the coming of the One who is the fulfillment of God’s promise, the fulfillment of hope, the declaration that all have been redeemed. We know that the world in which we live will continue to be filled with pain and sorrow. We know that hatred and violence will continue to exist. We know that death and separation will continue to be a part of our lives. But because we are an Advent people, we know that love will win in the end. The Holy One is always coming, to make this world home, to make this world whole, all that was, is, and ever will be. And in our waiting and our hoping, we work and worship, pray and play, in all things hoping that peace, love, and joy will reign in our lives and in our world, now and forever. (The text is by Rev. Rebecca F. Harrison)*GLORIA PATRI ADESTE FIDELES Glory to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; Praise we the Trinity, the three in one. Sing alleluia! Welcome the Messiah.
