SCRIPTURE
Isaiah 40:1-5 40Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak
tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that
her penalty is paid, that she has received from the LORD’s hand double
for all her sins. 3 A voice cries out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way
of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our
God. 4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be
made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places
a plain. 5 Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all people
shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.’
Matthew 3:1-3; 11-12 3In those days John the Baptist appeared in the
wilderness of Judea, proclaiming, 2‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven
has come near.’3This is the one of whom the prophet Isaiah spoke
when he said, ‘The voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.” 11 ‘I baptize
you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is
coming after me; I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize
you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12His winnowing-fork is in his hand,
and he will clear his threshing-floor and will gather his wheat into the
granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.’
John 14:1-6 14‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God,
believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house there are many dwellingplaces. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a
place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may
be also. 4And you know the way to the place where I am
going.’ 5Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are
going. How can we know the way?’ 6Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way,
and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
me.

Short Term Study – Sunday School Balancing Faith & Christianity
in Today’s World: A Short-Term Study Sunday Mornings - February 8,
15, 22, & March 1, 8, 15 10:05am in the Parlor Bob MacReynolds & Shannon
Koontz, Facilitators.
 Class 1: ‘Business and Survival vs. The Sunday Christian’.
How does the current economic climate, opportunities,
pressures, and norms affect our thoughts and behaviors as
Christian people. Do you look at your own actions and
decision-making differently at the office than you do at home
and church? Does the Bible have any insight into what is
acceptable and unacceptable in today’s economic climate?
 Class 2: ‘My Time vs. My Duty’. How do you balance your
“duty” as a Christian with the amount of time you have
available outside of family, work, etc.? What is enough, what
is too much, where is the line between the concept of ‘I need to
get done’ and ‘God expects me to give of myself’?
 Class 3: ‘Christians and the Global Religious Landscape’.
We all know there are many religions in the world. How is
Christianity faring in today’s world? What other religions are
gaining favor and members, what geographic trends are
prevalent in our local area and the world? Does this have any
influence on our day-to-day lives or the future of our church?
Class size is limited, so if interested please send an email to
[email protected]
Our New Philly Kids (children Kindergarten through 5th grade) are
invited to come out and bring a friend on February 8 from 4-5:30PM in
our Fellowship Hall for the New Philly Olympics. This session will be
filled with lots of fun and active games. We need 4-5 adult volunteers
to help facilitate this celebration of team cooperation! Please let Pastor
Christy, Andi Williams, Tara Pitts or Ryan Beaver know if you can
volunteer.

Prelude
Liturgy: (Standing)
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also with you.
Praise the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights!
Praise him all his angels; praise him all his hosts!
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining
stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the
heavens!
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and
they were created. By his word they came into being.
He established them forever and ever. He fixed their
bounds, which cannot be passed.
Praise the Lord, Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes
and all rulers of the earth!
Young men and women alike, old and young together!
Let everything and everyone praise the name of the Lord, for
his name alone is exalted;
His glory alone is above earth and heaven. Amen.
I see the Lord seated on the throne, exalted,
And the train of his robe fills the temple with glory
And the whole earth is filled,
And the whole earth is filled,
And the whole earth is filled with his glory
by our words and deeds.
Holy, holy, holy, holy,
Holy is the Lord.
Holy, holy, holy, holy,
Holy is the Lord of lords.
that we may have eyes to see and hearts to understand, not
only what you do on our behalf,
©1993 Maranatha Praise, Inc. CCLI #2830492
Gracious God, open our hearts to your power moving around
us and among us and within us,
until your glory is revealed in our love of both friend and
enemy,
in communities transformed by justice and compassion,
Receive these prayers, O God,
and transform us through them,
but what you call us to do as your disciples.
By our Lord’s birth we are reborn,
In his suffering we are freed from sin.
By his rising from the dead,
We rise to everlasting life.
Holy and gracious God, our Creator,
and in the healing of all that is broken.
Give us strength and joy in serving you as followers of
Christ,
Holy God, you have called us to follow in the way of your
risen Son,
Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever.
and to care for those who are our companions,
Amen.
not only with words of comfort, but with acts of love.
O Lord, hear our prayer.
(Kneeling)
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary
Pure and holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living
Sanctuary for You
(Standing)
Guide us in the path of discipleship, so that, as you have
blessed us,
we may be a blessing for others,
bringing the promise of your kingdom near,
O Lord our Lord
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
O Lord our Lord
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
O Lord, we praise Your name
O Lord, we magnify Your name
Prince of Peace, Mighty God
O Lord God Almighty!
