Advent Collect (from The Book of Common Prayer)
O Lord our God, make us watchful and keep us faithful as we await the coming of your Son our Lord; that, when he shall appear, he may not find us sleeping in sin but active in his service and joyful in his praise; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Romans 5:1–2
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Praise him above, ye heavenly host: praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Offering Prayer
Offertory: Infant Holy, Infant Lowly arr. Mack Wilberg
Infant Holy, infant lowly, for his bed a cattle stall; oxen lowing, little knowing Christ the babe is Lord of all. Swiftly winging, angels singing, Nowells ringing, tidings bringing: Christ the babe is Lord of all. Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping vigil till the morning new saw the glory, heard the story, tidings of a gospel true. Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow, praises voicing, greet the morrow: Christ the babe was born for you. Christ the babe was born for you.
