-	Let us confess to God almighty and to one another	16:22
	that we have sinned in thought, word, and deed,	16:28
	by our own fault.	16:36
	And let us ask God to give us the grace of true repentance,	16:39
	to have mercy upon us and to forgive us our sins.	16:45
	So let us pray together in unison.	16:53
	Oh Lord in this season of hope and expectancy,	16:57
	we look at our lives and confess that we are in need	17:03
	of the miracle of your love and peace.	17:07
	We who claim to have heard the good news,	17:12
	live our lives defensively.	17:15
	We are afraid to be made vulnerable by caring too deeply.	17:19
	We hide from pain, loneliness, and involvement.	17:25
	Our lives are full of disillusionment	17:31
	with people and politics.	17:35
	We have forgotten that joy and laughter	17:38
	are part of your gift to us.	17:42
	Come to us in our fear and despair,	17:45
	know us as we are, feel out longing and hunger	17:50
	to be your faith for people, let your love grow.	17:55
	Amen.	18:01
	Now let us offer unto God quietly, each one of us,	18:04
	her own, his own personal confession,	18:10
	the sin of commission in anger, dislike, malice, meanness,	18:14
	the sin of omission.	18:22
	The good we have forgotten to do,	18:24
	this is the sin which worry Jesus more than any other.	18:28
	And let us hear these words of assurance of forgiveness	18:56
	that Advent has found in one of the cuddles for Christmas.	18:59
	God, rest you Mary gentle folk.	19:06
	Let nothing you dismay for Jesus Christ our savior	19:10
	who was born on Christmas day to save us all	19:15
	from Satan's power when we were gone astray.	19:20
	O tidings of comfort and joy,	19:26
	O tidings of comfort and joy.	19:30
	So be comforted and strength.	19:35
	Amen.	19:42
	(instrumental music)	20:01
	(man vocalizing)	20:14
-	The scripture readings for this Sunday,	22:13
	the fourth, Sunday in Advent,	22:16
	come to us from the book of Hebrews,	22:18
	the 10th chapter, verses five through 10.	22:20
	Hear now the words of God.	22:24
	Consequently, when Christ came into the world,	22:27
	he said, "Sacrifices and offerings thou has not desired,	22:31
	but a body has thou prepared for me.	22:36
	In burnt offerings and sin offerings	22:39
	thou has taken no pleasure.	22:42
	Then I said, "Lo I have come to do they will of God."	22:45
	It is written of me in the role of the book,	22:50
	when he said above, "Thou has neither desired	22:54
	nor taken pleasure in the sacrifices and offerings	22:58
	and burnt offerings and sin offerings.	23:03
	These are offered according to the law."	23:06
	Then he added, "Lo I have come to do thy will.	23:09
	He abolishes the first in order to establish the second.	23:14
	And by that will, we have been sanctified	23:20
	through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ	23:23
	once for all.	23:27
	The congregation, please rise for the reading of the gospel.	23:30
	Gospel reading to us today comes	23:40
	from the gospel of St. Luke,	23:43
	the first chapter verses 39 through 49.	23:45
	In those days,	23:50
	"Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country	23:51
	to a city of Judea.	23:56
	And she entered the house as Zachariah	23:57
	and greeted Elizabeth.	24:00
	When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary,	24:02
	the baby leaped in her womb,	24:04
	and Elizabeth was filled with the holy spirit,	24:07
	and she exclaimed with a loud cry.	24:11
	Blessed are you among women and blessed	24:14
	is the fruit of your womb.	24:16
	And why is this granted to me that the mother of our Lord	24:20
	should come to me.	24:24
	For behold when the voice of your greeting came	24:26
	onto my ears, the baby in my womb, leaped for joy.	24:29
	And blessed is she who believed	24:35
	that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her	24:38
	from the Lord.	24:43
	And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord	24:44
	and my spirit rejoices in God my savior,	24:49
	for he has regarded the lowest state of his handmaiden,	24:52
	for behold henceforth, all generations will call me blessed	24:55
	for he who is mighty has done great things for me.	25:02
	And holy is his name."	25:06
	May the Lord add his blessings to the hearing,	25:09
	the reading and the understanding of his holy word.	25:11
	Amen.	25:15
	(choir vocalizing)	25:25
-	Let us affirm what we believe.	26:02
	We believe in God, who has created and is creating,	26:07
	who has come in the truly human Jesus,	26:13
	to reconcile and make new.	26:17
	Who works in--	26:21
-	Us and others by the Spirit.	26:22
-	We trust God who calls us to be the church,	26:25
	to celebrate life and its fullness,	26:30
	to love and serve others,	26:34
	to seek justice and resist evil,	26:37
	to proclaim Jesus crucified and risen, our judge	26:41
	and our hope in life, in death, in life beyond death,	26:46
	God is with us.	26:54
	We are not alone. Thanks be to God.	26:56
	The Lord be with you.	27:01
-	And be with you too.
-	Let us pray.	27:05
	Let our first prayer be one of Thanksgiving at Advent.	27:17
	Great God of power and love.	27:26
	We thank thee for Jesus Christ,	27:30
	whose birth we celebrate so soon,	27:33
	we thank thee for the prophets hope, the angel song,	27:38
	the Wiseman's tribute.	27:44
	We thank thee that in Jesus thou has joined us,	27:48
	sharing human pleasures and human hurts.	27:53
	We thank thee that through the holy spirit,	27:59
	he is still with us.	28:02
	Glory be to thee for thy wonderful love.	28:06
	Glory be to thee eternal God	28:11
	through Jesus Christ forever and ever, amen.	28:14
	Let our second prayer be one of intercession at Advent.	28:23
	For God who through thy son has taught us to make prayer	28:29
	for all conditions of folk.	28:32
	We would remember them.	28:36
	We offer our prayers for the trustees and administration	28:39
	of our university to the joy of Christmas may be in them,	28:43
	for any work well done, for the faculty that learning	28:49
	and religion, inseparably connected,	28:56
	maybe recognized in Jesus of Bethlehem and Nazareth.	29:01
	For the students that they may reach their homes in safety	29:09
	find joy in their families and return to us	29:14
	with Christmas gladness in their hearts.	29:18
	For the employees who serve us with graciousness and skill,	29:23
	that they may know that they belong to a beloved community.	29:29
	For those who must spend this season in the hospital,	29:37
	some in gratitude that a child is born,	29:41
	some in pain, others in sorrow,	29:46
	some offering their skill and devotion as doctors	29:52
	and nurses,	29:55
	let our hospital be a thoughtful place of love	29:57
	at this holy time,	30:02
	for all men and women in all places that peace may come	30:05
	because of goodwill, honor.	30:12
	For thy creatures here and everywhere,	30:16
	we offer this prayer of intercession.	30:19
	And then prayer of supplication for ourselves at Advent.	30:24
	Oh God, what curious praise is ours, for Jesus Christ.	30:34
	I read tricycle, for small and busy feet.	30:41
	Skis for a boy to ride the wind,	30:47
	perfume for her and tobacco for him,	30:52
	a check or two or three or 10, for charity at Christmas.	30:58
	Christmas cards signed love by hand,	31:10
	letters to friends long lost in years ago,	31:14
	much weariness and ribbons and short tempers.	31:18
	Oh find in this dear God,	31:25
	our human hearts, our hope for one another.	31:27
	Our praise for thee and love for thy son.	31:32
	And now as our savior Christ taught his disciples,	31:40
	we pray together saying, our father who art in heaven,	31:45
	hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come.	31:51
	Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.	31:56
	Give us this day, our daily bread	32:01
	and forgive us our trespasses	32:04
	as we forgive those who trespass against us.	32:07
	And lead us not into temptation,	32:11
	but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom	32:14
	and the power and the glory forever.	32:18
	Amen.	32:24
	Our preacher this morning is known to you,	32:28
	Reverend Helen G. Crotwell, the Associate Minister	32:32
	to the university.	32:36
-	Advent is a time of waiting, of preparation,	32:45
	of expectation, a time of hope, promise and joy.	32:52
	This is how we describe Advent when we are talking about	32:59
	what we'd like for this season to be for us.	33:04
	But when we think about some of the other dimensions	33:10
	of Advent, we say it is a time of a million carpools,	33:13
	of too many exams to take or to grade,	33:20
	too many papers to write or to read,	33:25
	a time of frantic activity of frustration, of short tempers,	33:29
	of exhaustion, a time of anxiety, depression,	33:33
	despair, heightened loneliness,	33:39
	a time when there are more suicides	33:43
	than at any other time of the year,	33:47
	what a contrast between some of our expectations	33:51
	and some of our experiences,	33:55
	a time for waiting, a time for preparing for the celebration	33:58
	of the birth of Jesus,	34:04
	but a time which is so rushed and so hectic	34:07
	there is not even time for our cup of tea.	34:11
	There is not even time to hear of the hurts of another,	34:15
	a time of hope and promise and expectation,	34:21
	yet a time when many people feel the most hopeless,	34:26
	the most lonely, the most despair.	34:31
	Now I want to point up some of the dimensions of our life,	34:36
	which contribute to the star contrast	34:40
	between our expectations and our experiences	34:44
	during this season.	34:47
	First and most important.	34:50
	This is a family time, more than any other of our holy days	34:53
	or our secular celebrations.	34:59
	And the other two dimensions are related to our response	35:02
	to God's gift to us and our giving to others,	35:06
	making this a season of giving and receiving.	35:11
	Now consider that this Christmas Advent,	35:17
	season is a family time.	35:21
	You have heard people say,	35:24
	it's especially said that she died at Christmas,	35:27
	or how much harder this pain must be for you to bare	35:33
	at this particular time?	35:38
	Or how terrible that the marriage had	35:41
	to break up at Christmas?	35:44
	Now we know that anytime a family is broken because of anger	35:47
	or alienation or death or divorce,	35:51
	it is awful and terrible and sad.	35:54
	And yet it does seem more difficult,	35:59
	even worse at this time, at this season.	36:02
	And this is because it is a time to be with your family,	36:07
	a time of memories of those you love.	36:11
	A time of renewed hope	36:14
	for this primary Christian community, the family,	36:16
	and when the hopes and dreams are unfulfilled or shattered,	36:22
	our pain and our despair is heightened.	36:28
	And when separation comes to our family during this season,	36:33
	we know that from then on,	36:38
	this season, our time of joy will have the shadow	36:40
	of this sad memory of what once was and is no more,	36:44
	dimming its joy.	36:50
	Advent Christmas is a family celebration because God chose	36:54
	to come to us, to bring us hope by being born	37:00
	as a baby in a family.	37:05
	And so when we recall what little we know about Jesus	37:09
	in relation to his family,	37:12
	we gain some perspective on our need for,	37:14
	and our search for a family, for a supportive community.	37:18
	Before one of the students in the Divinity School preached	37:25
	using the Luke scripture, which we heard today,	37:27
	which talks about a time of waiting,	37:31
	of preparation, of expectation.	37:33
	She talked to some women about what was it like	37:36
	to discover that they were pregnant?	37:40
	Their response was similar to Mary's,	37:43
	shock, unbelief, wanting to be alone,	37:45
	but soon wanting to talk with another woman,	37:50
	who could understand what she was experiencing.	37:54
	And so Mary visited her cousin, Elizabeth.	37:58
	God comes to us in the form of a baby,	38:02
	in the context of a family.	38:06
	And as we recall the gospel accounts of Jesus' life,	38:09
	we remember reports, very brief reports,	38:14
	but important ones of his relationship with his family,	38:18
	a place where as a baby,	38:24
	he was cared for by his mother and father,	38:26
	a place where he was nurtured and taught,	38:29
	a place where he was introduced to the religious community,	38:32
	the religious traditions, the rites and rituals	38:36
	which are so important for our being human,	38:40
	the place where he learned about God and about value in life	38:44
	and God's creation.	38:49
	And he broke away from his first dependence on his family	38:52
	at a very early age,	38:57
	becoming independent, yet always maintaining a relationship	39:00
	to his family.	39:05
	It was this child who followed the family was so important	39:06
	who became the adult who pushes and stretches our vision	39:11
	and image of the family,	39:17
	beyond that of the blood can to those who I need,	39:20
	to those who want to do the will of God.	39:25
	And in the final days, when he knew he was to die,	39:30
	we remember his concern for his mother,	39:34
	and his giving this responsibility to John,	39:38
	the beloved disciple,	39:41
	this responsibility to care for his mother.	39:44
	And so the celebration of the birthday of Jesus	39:49
	is primarily our family's celebration.	39:53
	And we all have memories of what this was and is for us,	39:57
	the family selecting and decorating the Christmas tree,	40:03
	the good smell of the food in the house,	40:07
	reading together the Christmas story,	40:09
	the Advent wreath and calendar,	40:12
	the visit to shut-ins and relatives,	40:15
	the joy of making and giving your first gift,	40:18
	the special church services,	40:22
	carol sings, and own and own, you remember.	40:24
	One student was telling of a special joy in her family	40:28
	that they find in cherishing	40:32
	and using different expressions,	40:34
	which our grandmother creates and uses over and over	40:35
	at different times.	40:38
	One was, you always know the first time you do something,	40:41
	but you never know when it will be the last time.	40:47
	A statement, which is poignant. And with some sadness.	40:51
	It may be the last time a mother or a father cuddles a child	40:55
	before the child pushes away	41:01
	in the first steps of independence,	41:03
	you never know this until after it has happened.	41:05
	It may be the last time the family sits around a fire	41:09
	to read the Christmas stories or sing the Christmas carols	41:14
	because the next year the family may be separated,	41:18
	because a new family has come into being	41:21
	or because of divorce or death.	41:25
	You'd never know until it has happened.	41:27
	Now, for those are without family at this time of year	41:31
	because of separation by distance or death or whatever,	41:36
	you find hope in knowing that Jesus pushed out images	41:41
	and vision of the family to include more	41:46
	than the natural family.	41:50
	And Bob Young sermon entitled,	41:53
	"Who Are My Brothers and Sisters."	41:56
	he says, and I quote,	41:58
	"Our natural families are not always with us.	42:01
	We leave them or they leave us.	42:04
	They grow apart from us, or we grow apart from them.	42:08
	We become different in those ways	42:13
	where our differences count.	42:16
	But as this happens, we reach out	42:18
	and others reach out to us.	42:21
	And a new family is found"	42:24
	End of the quote.	42:27
	Any group can become your family if it can bear the marks	42:29
	and carry the weight of being a family,	42:35
	a place where you are nurtured and sustained,	42:38
	where your hurts are healed,	42:42
	where you can share your joys,	42:44
	where you are called into question in your selfishness,	42:47
	supported in your doubts,	42:52
	where you share a common commitment toward what is important	42:54
	and of value in your life.	42:58
	Now, such a group can only be a family	43:01
	when there is mutuality,	43:05
	where there is a sharing and the giving and the taking.	43:07
	A sharing and the telling and the listening,	43:12
	for if it is one-sided,	43:15
	then the relationship is one of counselor to counselee,	43:17
	or social worker to one in need or something else,	43:21
	but not a family.	43:26
	Now people have often asked me,	43:29
	"What it's like to be a single person in a community	43:31
	so far from any family?"	43:34
	And I respond with thankfulness, saying that I stay human	43:37
	and whole because there are several groups and families	43:42
	to which I feel I belong.	43:46
	And the sense that I have just talked about	43:48
	how other than the natural family can be your family.	43:50
	And for this I give thanks.	43:54
	Now we know that the family is especially important,	43:57
	is a place to care for those who cannot care for themselves.	44:00
	The very young, or the very old,	44:05
	or those who are incapacitated in some way.	44:09
	Sometimes homes for the aged or hospitals	44:13
	or children's homes, become family for these people.	44:16
	And we give thanks that so many of these institutions	44:21
	are responsible and are not exploitive	44:25
	and callous in accepting this responsibility.	44:29
	And yet when we have a member of our family away from us,	44:34
	we want it all times.	44:37
	And especially at Christmas to be united with them	44:39
	in some way, to be united with the people we love,	44:43
	to help relieve the loneliness which must be theirs	44:47
	at this very poignant and nostalgic time,	44:51
	Advent, Christmas, or family time,	44:56
	our time to share with those you love	45:00
	what is most important to you.	45:03
	What is meaning filled? What is most (indistinct).	45:05
	A time to express in specific ways,	45:09
	thanks and appreciation for the gift of love and life.	45:13
	And it is, as we try to express this appreciation	45:19
	that we discover another source of our sadness	45:23
	and despair and depression,	45:27
	and hear the word of Hebrews speaks to us.	45:31
	We know that we do not try to relate to God	45:34
	or to express our love to God, to the sacrifice	45:37
	as did the people in the biblical times.	45:40
	And yet, as we try to be obedient to God,	45:43
	to respond to God's love by sharing our love	45:47
	with those who need it.	45:50
	We know how we would like to do something,	45:52
	to fulfill our responsibility and get it over with,	45:55
	and get on living with our lives untroubled,	45:59
	by the hungry and the cold and the lonely.	46:02
	And so it is just here that this scripture can speak to us	46:05
	and our situation today.	46:10
	This is a season when the needs of the human community	46:12
	are lifted before our eyes, we are troubled and saddened,	46:17
	and we as a community, respond and give generously.	46:23
	But we are humbled by the fact that many of us	46:28
	spend more money on unnecessary gifts to those we love	46:32
	than some of these people have to eat on for the whole year.	46:38
	And we are concerned that these people will be cared for	46:46
	at Thanksgiving and Christmas,	46:48
	but maybe forgotten the rest of the year.	46:51
	And we are concerned that our giving not be dehumanizing	46:55
	and demeaning.	47:00
	Hear this poem from the daily meditation booklet,	47:02
	which was prepared by some students who were planning	47:05
	for the world, hunger fast at Thanksgiving.	47:09
	"I would let you help me, but to feel obligated	47:13
	to one I do not respect, as I must if I accept your aid,	47:19
	enslaves my love and leaves me with less than I began with.	47:25
	It is indeed no blessing and at least easier to be able	47:33
	to give than to have to receive.	47:38
	Yet if the need is great enough to blot out my pride,	47:44
	I can will to beg and gladly perhaps thankfully receive,	47:50
	give if only because you can, perhaps because you must,	47:58
	but hopefully without buying your own dignity,	48:03
	by taking the dignity of another.	48:09
	Give cheerfully, because you love."	48:12
	End of the poem.	48:17
	We know we want to respond to immediate need,	48:19
	but we also want to commit ourselves to eliminate the need	48:23
	for people to have to beg for food, for love or for shelter.	48:27
	Now finally let us look at our giving to those whom we love.	48:34
	We sent some dis-ease even here,	48:40
	for we are afraid we will let the secular determine	48:43
	how we shall show our love.	48:47
	Try to find our joy or celebrate God's gift to us.	48:50
	I looked through some advertisements	48:55
	and found what I expected and realized	48:57
	a subtle influence these words can have on us,	49:00
	words which offer promises which cannot be fulfilled.	49:04
	Hear a few of these,	49:08
	the love you get is the love you give.	49:11
	Give a watch, it tells a person more than the right time.	49:14
	Express the value of your love to another at Christmas,	49:19
	by buying a valuable gift or diamond,	49:23
	spend a little, but give a lot.	49:28
	And this was an advertisement for a cheap gift,	49:30
	which only cost $50.	49:33
	There is one joy, there is only one joy,	49:36
	and that is the costliest perfume in the world.	49:39
	A status bracelet, add to your	49:44
	or someone else's collection this Christmas.	49:47
	The nicest way you can show you care is to give and share.	49:50
	The best there is.	49:56
	And when they say you really shouldn't, don't believe them.	49:58
	And then this final one, this is my favorite.	50:03
	Give a bottle and be highly esteemed,	50:06
	but give a case and be revered.	50:09
	(crowd laughs)	50:13
	We are amused, but we are haunted	50:20
	that we may be more influenced by the secular message.	50:24
	The only way we can show we care to find joy,	50:29
	to have a happy holiday is to spend a lot of money.	50:31
	Advent is a time to continue our pilgrimage to the manger,	50:37
	to celebrate the fact that God is with us.	50:42
	Let this be a time of waiting, of expectation,	50:47
	of letting the spirit of Christ be born again in your life.	50:52
	A time to find the source of joy and peace and love,	50:57
	which will sustain you in a world distraught by war	51:01
	and greed and exploitation and poverty and hunger.	51:05
	A time to find a joy whose source begins in a manger,	51:10
	but ends in a crucifixion and a resurrection.	51:16
	We are not promised life without pain	51:21
	or heartache or brokenness.	51:24
	These are false expectations and distortions	51:27
	of the Christmas message,	51:30
	but we are promised that God will be with us	51:32
	and all of our joys and in all of our pains, sustaining,	51:36
	supporting, healing.	51:41
	Advent is a time to find peace and joy and hope.	51:44
	A time to nourish our souls as well as our bodies,	51:49
	a time to learn to care for those without families,	51:54
	and a time to learn to give the most valuable gift,	51:59
	the gift of ourselves to God and to those we love	52:06
	and to those who need us.	52:12
	Let us pray.	52:15
	We thank you oh God,	52:19
	for coming to us and the human and Jesus our Christ,	52:21
	for offering your love to us,	52:27
	the hope which sends us forth and enables us	52:30
	to continue our pilgrimage.	52:35
	We thank you for speaking your word, despite our deafness,	52:38
	for putting your word in our stubborn hearts.	52:44
	And because we know you and the human Jesus,	52:48
	we can meet you in our brothers and sisters,	52:52
	and a forgiving word, a reassuring smile,	52:57
	and friends who walk mysteriously into our lives	53:01
	and awakened good in us we never knew existed.	53:05
	Oh God, your word is hope, creativity, imagination,	53:10
	and new beginnings.	53:16
	So that somehow we can start out again from the ashes	53:18
	of defeat and disappointment or depression and despair.	53:23
	Your word, oh God is yes to who we are and all we do	53:29
	as we struggle to discover your presence in ourselves	53:36
	and our world.	53:41
	And for this, we give you thanks.	53:44
	Amen. And amen.	53:46
	(instrumental music)	53:52
	(choir vocalizing)	54:48
	(slow music)	57:13
	(man vocalizing)	59:04
	(soft piano music)	1:02:01
	(choir vocalizing)	1:02:35
-	Here we offer and present onto thee O God,	1:03:40
	our gifts as at the cradle of thy son,	1:03:44
	let them symbolize gold because he reigns as our king,	1:03:50
	frankincense because he lives as our high priest,	1:03:56
	myrrh because he died for our wellbeing,	1:04:02
	accept them for we bring them in gratitude and love	1:04:08
	to his honor and glory.	1:04:15
	Amen.	1:04:19
	(bright music)	1:04:23
	(choir vocalizing)	1:05:28
	May God almighty bless you.	1:09:01
	May God himself protect and defend you in all things,	1:09:05
	who for our sakes mercifully took upon himself,	1:09:12
	our human infancy through him who is Emmanuel,	1:09:18
	even Jesus Christ, our Lord.	1:09:25
	Amen.	1:09:32
	(playful music)	1:09:44
	(audience clapping)	1:15:26
