1st Sunday in Advent December 1, 2024

GLORIFY HIM ... GROW IN HIM ... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
1st Sunday in Advent  
December 1, 2024  
 
A place to call home:  St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School  
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, welcome home.  We especially welcome to our house of 
worship our guests who have joined us today.  We pray you will be strengthened by the good news 
about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.  
 
We say with the Psalmist, whether here on campus or viewing online, “I rejoiced with those who said to me, 
‘Let us go to the house of the LORD’” (Psalm 122:1).  
 
May the Lord continue to help us grow in His grace and knowledge as we hear, speak, and sing His 
holy Word.  
 
Some items to keep in mind as we gather for worship in this place: 
 
Members & our Guests … Please pick up and fill out a Connection Card which can be found in the 
Entryway: before you leave place it in the box on the wall or in the basket labeled “Filled out 
Connection Cards.” Thank you!  
 
LARGE PRINT copies of the Service can be found at the entrance to the Sanctuary.  
 
Hymns from ‘Christian Worship’ Red (1993) / ‘Christian Worship’ Dark Blue (2021

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today.
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love and forgiveness through Jesus.

Worship Focus:   If there is a storm coming in or a fire burning within view, what do we have a 
tendency to do? We keep an eye on it. Why? So, we can be ready to act and avoid property damage or 
harm to life. Jesus t tells us this world is in decay mode, and so He also tells us to keep watch. Why? 
So, this decay will not harm us. This is what He wants us to pray about as well, for ourselves and for 
others. Good idea, then, to keep watch and to pray as we do that.
