Sunday Worship: The 4th Sunday in Advent

Today is the the 4th Sunday in Advent (the last one before Christmas). Pastor Shane will be preaching and finishing our 6 week sermon series in Malachi, preaching from Malachi 3:13-4:6.

To prepare for worship, read the Collect and Scripture lessons.
The Collect for the 4th Sunday in Advent.
O Lord, raise up (we pray thee) thy power and come among us, and with great might succour us; that whereas, through our sins and wickedness, we are sore let and hindered in running the race that is set before us, thy bountiful grace and mercy may speedily help and deliver us, through the satisfaction of thy Son our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be honour and glory, world without end. 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)
