Everyone is Welcome!
Annunciation of the Lord Introduction:
Ladies, can you imagine birthing and raising Jesus? Men, look in the mirror; can you be dad to the Lord?
This is the point where all of us, in meditation and contemplation of what certainly is challenging for a human, will deliver us from who we think we are to what God has called us to be, from observant believer to confessing apostle.
Annunciation of the Lord Scripture:
The LORD spoke to Ahaz saying, Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven. Is. 7:10-1.
Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear; forget your people and your father’s house, and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him. Ps. 45:10-1.
It is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Heb. 10:10.
The angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. Luke 1:30-1.
Prayer:
O God,
we rejoice in your salvation,
for your Spirit brought to life in Mary
the one who saves your people from their sins.
Send your Spirit on your church
to quicken all that is barren in us,
that we may give birth to Christ
for our world today. Amen.
Jesus, Name Above All Names
performed by Marantha Singers
Jesus name above all names
Beautiful Savior glorious Lord
Emmanuel God is with us
Blessed Redeemer living Word.
Prayer:
O Loving One,
your daughter Mary prayed to be your faithful servant.
Hear the prayers of our hearts on behalf of your world.
Ever-surprising One,
as your messenger came to Mary
with words of your favor
and the pledge of wondrous new life,
may we, in our day,
prove ourselves
as ready to serve you,
and as willing to bear the life you offer,
for the blessing of our world. Amen.
Jesus Shall Reign
Isaac Watts (1719).
performed by Enfield
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun, Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
Prayer:
God of impossibilities,
you chose to enter human flesh
through the one who called herself lowly.
Teach us who daily receive announcements of Christ’s coming
to live as Mary did,
trusting in your power
to bring your desire to fulfillment. Amen.
