Stone United Methodist Church December 7, 2025 Second Sunday of Advent REV. KENDRA BALLIET ORGANIST JIM ROSS * Please Stand If Able Prelude - Choral Prelude on "Of The Fathers Love Begotten" -John Blackburn Welcome & Announcements *Call to Worship PASTOR: As we prepare to go into the world, let us ask and answer the question we came with. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one born in a time when too many were silenced. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one whose voice would ring out, reminding all that peace does not come through violence. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This, this is the “Prince of Peace” who shows us the kin-dom in which all have a voice, and no one is afraid. * Opening Hymn – “Star Child” #2095 Lighting of the Second Advent Candle Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Reader 1: The poet of our theme carol, “What Child is This,” penned the phrase “the silent Word is pleading.” Our vision of the child in the manger may be the soothing lullaby and the silent night, but the reality of babies, and of that time in history, is that of a “crying out.” Reader 2: It was a time when many were silenced, and the need for prophesying justice in the midst of trauma was great. Zechariah does this when his silence is lifted. The Word became Flesh for such a time. Reader 1: We light this candle of Peace for those who need it most. (Light the First and Second Purple Candles.) Reader 2: For all who are being silenced. Reader 1: For all who are afraid to speak out. Reader 2: For all who know that peace comes with justice. Reader 1: Our question for today at the scene of the nativity is this: “How will we cry out for true peace for ALL people? How will we soothe the trauma of the world in our time?” Reader 2: What child IS this? This, this, is the Prince of Peace who invites us to proclaim his reign forever. This, this is Christ, the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary! Opening Prayer Here, at the nativity of your birth, give us the courage to face this moment with new air in our lungs. Open us to new understandings of the unfolding story of your presence among us. Show us the true meaning of peace on earth, goodwill for all. We pray in the name of the Child, the Prince of Peace in our hearts and lives. Amen.
