Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus

Come, thou long expected Jesus, Born to set thy people free;

From our fears and shame release us, Let us find our rest in thee.

Israel's strength and consolation, Hope of all the earth thou art; Dear desire of every nation, Joy of every longing heart.

Scripture Lesson / Lectura Bíblica

Matthew 1:18-24

Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being righteous and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when Joseph had resolved to do this, an angel of God appeared in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a child, you will name Jesus, for this child will save the people from their sins.” All this fulfilled the prophet's words: “Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a child that will be named Emmanuel,” which means, “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel commanded and they were married.

One: This is the Word of God for the people of God.All: Thanks be to God.

Angels Advent Carolby P. Liebergen

When Angels SingIn this year's Advent series, When Angels Sing, we will explore

the journey to Christmas through the messages given

to Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds, Jesus,

Simeon and Ana, and the Magi.

Each Sunday God's revelation breaks

into the world through dreams and pronouncements to enter into everyday

making the ordinary sacred. Singing a new song into the world where incarnation - the

wholeness of flesh and spirit as one is not only promised

but made real in the Christ Child.

Are you open to God breaking in this

Advent season of preparation? Are you ready for an

adventure?

CommunionAs we gather, break

bread, and tell stories of hope through prayer,

song and ritual in the practice we call

"communion," we bear witness that "Life is stronger than death.

People can change with God’s help. And God is

worthy of our thanks and praise." All are welcome at the table: you do not need to be a member

of this or any church to gather as God's children

at the table of Life.

A brief blessing is offered with bread and

unfermented juice, available to all. Gluten-free bread is offered at the far right; Spanish blessing offered at the

far left.

Please honor this time of sacred community with

singing, quiet meditation or prayer that we might

each receive the spiritual nourishment we seek ...

ComuniónAl reunirnos, partir el pan, y contar historias

de esperanza a través de la oración, el canto y el ritual en la práctica que llamamos "comunión", damos testimonio de que "la vida es más

fuerte que la muerte. Las personas pueden

cambiar con la ayuda de Dios. Y Dios es digno de nuestro agradecimiento y alabanza. "Todos están

invitados a la mesa: no es necesario ser

miembro de esta iglesia o cualquier reunir como hijos de Dios en la mesa

de la Vida.

Una breve bendición se ofrece con el pan y el

jugo, al alcance de todos. Pan sin gluten se ofrece en el extremo derecho;

bendición españoles ofrecen en el extremo

izquierdo.

Por favor respetar este tiempo de comunidad

sagrada con canto, la meditación o la

oración silenciosa para que podamos recibir cada uno el alimento

espiritual que buscamos.

We Need a Little Christmas

Haul out the holly Put up the tree before my spirit falls again

Fill up the stocking, I may be rushing things but Deck the halls again now!

For we need a little ChristmasRight this very minuteCandles in the window

Carols at the spinetYes we need a little Christmas

Right this very minuteIt hasn't snowed a single flurry

But Santa Dear we're in a hurry.

So climb down the chimneyPut up the brightest string of lights I've every seen.

Slice up the fruitcakeIt's time we hung some tinsel

On the evergreen bough!

For we need a little musicNeed a little laughterNeed a little singing

Ringing through the rafterAnd we need a little snappy

Happy ever afterWe need a little Christmas,

Need a little Christmas,Need a little Christmas now!

Worship ServicesResurrection MCC is proud to offer a variety in our worship services. Our two Sunday services, at 9 & 11 am, are identical in form, however they contain different elements from diverse religious traditions each week.

A Special Welcome to First-Time Families!Our nursery staff would love to meet you and your infants & children aged one month through three years! The nursery is located to the right of the Sanctuary entrance and is open during both the 9 & 11 am services.Children and youth aged 4 - 17 years are invited to join our Youth Ministries Program during the 11 am service in the Activities Building (located across the breezeway from our main parking lot).

About Us…Resurrection MCC is a Christian church that follows God's call to justice for all people. We build on a rich history of social justice for, and on behalf of, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. Since its founding in 1968, Metropolitan Community Churches have been at the vanguard of civil and human rights movements as an international advocate for vulnerable people in places where religious orthodoxy, sexism, transphobia and homophobia can result in violence and death. MCC has been on the forefront in the struggle towards marriage equality in the US and other countries worldwide and continues to be a powerful voice in the LGBTQ equality movement. MCC’s ministry reaches over 43,000 members in over 250 churches in 22 countries worldwide.Metropolitan Community Churches are on a bold mission to transform hearts, lives, and history. We are a movement that faithfully proclaims God's inclusive love for all people and proudly bears witness to the holy integration of spirituality and sexuality. Because of our faith we are called to: do justice, show kindness, and live humbly with God (Micah 6:8); explore life's questions with open hearts and minds; raise our voices in sacred defiance against exclusion, whether religious, political or systemic; reach out to those with no hope; equip new generations of remarkable, far-reaching spiritual activists.

Our MISSION is to demonstrate God’s unconditional love to all people through Christ-like action.Our VISION is to boldly experience, engage, and embody our faith to transform ourselves and the world into the full expression of Christ’s inclusive love.

At Resurrection MCC, every member and friend is a minister of the church. We envision a Christian community that values diversity and is as diverse and all-encompassing as creation. Through salvation, service, study, and tithing, each member and friend will live and grow in faith and be spiritually fed. We embrace four core values:

Core ValuesInclusionLove is our greatest moral value. Inclusion is a primary focus of our ministry. We believe that all people, as they are and where they are, should be welcomed at God’s table. CommunityOur deep desire is to offer a safe and open community for people to worship, learn, share, and grow in their faith. We are committed to equipping ourselves and each other to do the work that God has called us to do in the world. Spiritual TransformationA message of liberation guides our ministry. We believe that when people are invited to experience God through the life and ministry of Christ, lives are transformed. JusticeWe are committed to uplifting all people and standing with those who suffer under the weight of oppressive systems. We are guided by our commitment to global human rights.

Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan, join forces to show how history has biased our reading of the nativity story as it appears in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. As they did for Easter in their previous book, The Last Week, here they explore the beginning of the life of Christ, peeling away the sentimentalism that has built up over the last two thousand years around this most well known of all stories to reveal the truth of what the gospels actually say.

t Resurrection MCC we celebrate the gift of God's love every day, all year long.

We celebrate God's love with special joy at Christmas, blessed that long ago God put each of us "at the top of the list" and gave the most wonderful gift to us all - Jesus Christ. Each Christmas, as we gather at the manger to receive the gift of Jesus Christ anew, we come grateful. And this time, we come bringing our gifts too . . . You're invited to join us . . . Meet Me at the Manger!It's beautifully simple: This Christmas, as you open your hearts and make a list of your family and friends and the gifts you hope to give this Christmas, give thanks for the blessing of your loved ones and for God's provision which makes it possible for you to have gifts to bring them.And then put Jesus on the top of the list.In the candlelit beauty of Christmas Eve, many of us will make a special gift to the ministry of Resurrection MCC in celebration of our relationship with Jesus and his life among us. We will make an offering (beyond our regular giving) in the amount of one dollar more than the cost of the most expensive gift we have on our list. We will place it in a small gift box, and place it in a the basket near the altar on Christmas Eve. For some of us, this is a way of honoring what we value most this season; for others, it's a way to say "Thank you!" or "I love you!" to God. For many of us, it is a spiritual practice, like prayer or fasting. For all of us, it is a joy and a blessing.We hope you will join us . . . Meet Me at the Manger! Empty gift boxes are available at all of the Sanctuary entrances.
