* Opening Hymn O Come, O Come, Emmanuel  Hymn #88 (vss 1, 6, 7)

Prayer of Confession (Responsive)  
One: Loving God, we are often oblivious to your presence, consumed by our own interests and numb to your leading. Yet you are merciful, eager to impress yourself upon us and transform us in your image. Confident in your character and power, we boldly confess our sin.
All: On this first Sunday of Advent, we are reminded that you sought us out, long before we would have thought to look for you. We now sing and pray about your coming among us, and yet we are not always sure that that is what we really want. It would shake things up so much! Forgive our reluctance, we ask, and use this season of Advent to help us prepare to embrace your coming, to celebrate Jesus
