Sunday Worship: The 2nd Sunday in Advent

Today is the 2nd Sunday in Advent. Pastor Shane will be preaching from Malachi 2:17-3:7a.

To prepare for worship, read the Collect and Scripture lessons.

The Collect for the 2nd Sunday in Advent.
Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy holy word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Collect for the 1st Sunday in Advent.
Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility, that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty, to judge both the quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal, through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, now and ever. Amen.
(This collect is to be said daily during Advent until Christmas Eve)
