‘Twas in the Moon of Wintertime – Voices United #71
1. 'Twas in the moon of wintertime,
when all the birds had fled,
that mighty Gitchi Manitou
sent angel choirs instead;
before their light the stars grew dim,
and wandering hunters heard the hymn:
Refrain:
Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria.
2. Within a lodge of broken bark
The tender babe was found,
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
Enwrapped his beauty round,
But as the hunters brave drew nigh,
The angel song rang loud and high.
Refrain:
Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria.

Joy to the World – Voices United #59
1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come,
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.
2. Joy to the world; the saviour reigns;
Let all their songs emply,
While fields and floods,
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
Words: Isaac Watts, 1719; Music: attrib. George Frederic Handel, 1742

Friends, In the hustle and bustle of the Advent season, it is easy to get swept up with the business of preparing our homes and finding the perfect gift for our loved ones. Let us take a moment to slow down and remember what Advent is meant to be: a time of waiting for the coming of the prince of Peace. Let us now gather in worship.
Lighting of the Advent Candle: Peace Acolytes: The Davidson Family
(Gord Dunbar, Gathering ACE 2020-2021)
Reader 1: Our Advent journey continues our time of waiting. As we wait, we prepare ourselves and our world for the prince of Peace.
Reader 2: In the lively dance of perspective and practice, communion and connection is forged. In the building of relationship and in the sharing of story, we come to know one another as we listen for bonds of peace.
Reader 3: Last Sunday, we light the first candle reminding us of the way of hope. Today, we light our second candle to signify Christ’s path of peace in a broken world. (The peace Advent candle is lit)
Sung Response: Hope is A Star (Verse 2) - Voices United #7
Peace is a ribbon that circles the earth,
giving a promise of safety and worth.
When God is a child there’s joy in our song.
The last shall be first and the weak shall be strong,
and none shall be afraid.

Call to Gather: Rev. Lorrie Lowes
(Susan Lukey, Gathering, ACE 2017-2018)

We come to hear the stories of our faith, to celebrate God’s gift of the baby Jesus,
and to imagine what is possible in this world because of God’s love.
Come to trust, listen, believe, and imagine what is possible because God
has come into our lives and into our world.
We come, O God, we come.
Prayer of Approach and Silent Confession: Rev. Kim Vidal
(Catherine Tovell, Gathering, ACE 2017-2018)
Peace-loving God, we are not always comfortable with the messages you send us through your prophets. The world is still a place of pain and turmoil because we have not fully embraced the changes your prophets have called us to. Forgive us, we pray and help us to prepare your path of peace in our lives and for the world.
Silent Confession
Words of Assurance:
Take heart! The God of hope will fill us with peace by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are loved! Thanks be to God.
Advent Hymn: Herald! Sound the Note of Gladness – Voices United #28
1 Herald! Sound the note of gladness!
Tell the news that Christ is here;
make a pathway through the desert
for the one who brings God near.
Sound the trumpet!
Tell the message!
Christ the Saving One has come!
2 Herald! Sound the note of judgement,
Warning us of right and wrong.
Turning us from sin and sadness,
Till once more we sing the song.
Sound the trumpet!
Tell the message!
Christ the Saving One has come!
3 Herald! Sound the note of pardon!
Those repenting are forgiven;
God receives these wayward children,
and to all new life is given.
Sound the trumpet!
Tell the message!
Christ the Saving One has come!
4 Herald! Sound the note of triumph!
Christ has come to share our life,
bringing God's own love and power,
granting victory in our strife.
Sound the trumpet!
Tell the message!
Christ the Saving One has come!

Storytime for the Young at Heart Rev. Lorrie Lowes
Today we lit the second candle in our Advent Wreath. This one stands for Peace.
I’ve been thinking a lot this week about that word, “Peace”. I think it means different things to people at different times. Sometimes, I think of peace as a quiet place – maybe beside a lake or even just when the lights go out at bedtime. It makes me sigh a happy sigh and settle my body and my thoughts for sleep. So maybe one way we can describe peace is “quiet and calm”.
When I’ve been really worried about something – my kids driving home in a snowstorm, an assignment that I have to do for school, or how everyone in our church family is coping with the pandemic, I feel anything but peaceful. Sometimes a simple phone call or message from someone can make that worry go away. So maybe another way to describe peace is having your mind at ease.
We talked about peace just recently, on Remembrance Day, didn’t we? We heard a lot about peace meaning no more wars and fighting. At that time, I remember thinking how frightening it must be for anyone who is in a place where there is a war going on. It would be scary at times to be a soldier – and I think it would be scary for all the people who live there too. Can you imagine how it would feel to be afraid all the time? So, maybe one of the ways we can describe peace is “no reason to be afraid”.
And that reminds me of the angels who appear in our Christmas stories. An angel comes to Mary to tell her that she’s going to have a baby – a very special baby. An angel appears to Joseph in a dream to tell him to take care of Mary and that baby. Angels appear to the shepherds in the field to announce the baby’s birth… I don’t know about you, but I think if an angel showed up suddenly in front of me, I’d be pretty frightened! And, you know, I think the angels must know that their sudden appearance would be a shocking thing to anyone because, every time an angel appears, the first thing they say is, “Do not be afraid.” Those angels also have news for those they visit that might make them feel anxious or worried. I bet Mary worried about how she could be a good mother to such a special child and I bet Joseph worried about how he would be able to take care of Mary and that baby, especially on that night in Bethlehem. I think they needed that message from the angel – “Don’t be afraid.” I think it helped to give them some peace.
While we go through this Advent time of waiting for Christmas this year, we might have some things that worry us or make us afraid. We might worry about people we love getting sick, or that Christmas won’t feel as special when we can’t all be together. Maybe you are worried that Santa won’t be able to deliver presents because of the quarantine. Well, let me reassure you that I saw a news article on CTV that took that worry away for me! It said that Santa is considered an essential worker and has delivered presents during other pandemics. Santa has done his research and is taking all the health precautions required in each place he visits. Does that give you a little peace? I hope so.
So, the symbol I want to put on the tree this week is an angel. I think it will remind us that the angels in our Christmas stories always said, “Don’t be afraid.” I think it will also remind us to be angels to those around us and do the kind of things that bring peace to our families, our friends, and our world.
Remember the words of the angels in our Bible stories:
“Don’t be afraid”
Peace be with you.

Prayer for Illumination Reader: Susan TeGrotenhuis
Open us, O God to your unfolding vision of peace.
Through your Word, shape us for shalom
by the power of your Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Reading: Isaiah 40:1-11(NRSV)
God’s People Are Comforted
40 Comfort, 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.”
6 A voice says, “Cry out!”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
All people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades,
when the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades;
but the word of our God will stand forever.
9 Get you up to a high mountain,
O Zion, herald of good tidings;
lift up your voice with strength,
O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings,
lift it up, do not fear;
say to the cities of Judah,
“Here is your God!”
10 See, the Lord God comes with might,
and his arm rules for him;
his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd;
he will gather the lambs in his arms,
and carry them in his bosom,
and gently lead the mother sheep.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to all of us. Thanks be to God!
Sermon: “When God Comforts” Rev. Kim Vidal
The Spirit listened as I uttered my mind.
The Spirit said not a word as I pleaded and pined
And then the Spirit spoke in the language of conviction
Saying, "Comfort isn't comfort in the absence of affliction."
Today marks the 31st anniversary of the murder of 14 female engineering students at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal on December 6, 1989, by an act of gender-based violence. The 25-year-old Marc Lepine walked into the engineering school on that tragic day, separated the men from the women and began shooting and killing 14 women. He then killed himself.
December 6th now represents a time to reflect on the tragic issue of violence against women in our society including the murdered and missing aboriginal women. It is also a day for communities and individuals to speak out against all forms of violence against women and its impact on victims and their families and friends.
A few years ago, the faces of five women who have spoken out about sexual harassment appear on Time magazine's Person of the Year front cover - along with a mystery right arm belonging to a sixth woman. These women represent "the Silence Breakers" - the thousands of people, particularly women across the world who have come forward with their experiences of sexual harassment and assault. In the bottom right-hand corner of the cover is the arm of an anonymous woman, with the remainder of her body deliberately cropped out of shot. The arm belongs to an anonymous young hospital worker from Texas who was a sexual harassment victim, who fears that disclosing her identity would negatively impact her family. Time Magazine discloses that she represents all those who are not yet able to come forward and reveal their identities.
On December 10th this year marks the 72nd year of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations on December 10, 1948. In its preamble and in Article 1, the Declaration proclaims the inherent rights of all human beings: “Disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of humankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people...All human beings – women and men - are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
Human rights violation is very much present in the Bible including the book of Isaiah. About six hundred years before Jesus was born, the writer we have come to know as Second Isaiah, wrote Chapters 40-55, when the Israelites were exiled in Babylon. The defeated people were taken as prisoners and slaves to a foreign land - men, women and children - most of them from affluent families, the elite of the society, the intellectuals and the noble. Their homeland had been taken over by the colonizers and their temple, the symbol of their identity as God’s people, had been destroyed.
Isaiah 40 begins with powerful words: “Comfort, O comfort my people”. To comfort literally means “to soothe, to console, or to reassure.” The Hebrew verb nachamu translated as “to offer comfort” means, “to cause to breathe again.” In other words, God is speaking to the exiled people through the voice of second Isaiah, that they can breathe again. These words of comfort were directed not only to those in exile but also to all of us right now, because there are many of us, like those women mentioned earlier, who were taken away into exile by the circumstances in our lives and places where we don’t want to be. At last Tuesday’s lectionary discussion, Jan Pound mentioned that this COVID-19 pandemic had brought many of us to exile and isolation. We are barred from doing many of those things that we enjoy. This pandemic curtailed our freedom to physically connect, to touch, to hug, to travel, to eat out, to worship, to celebrate happy occasions. And most of us, our place of exile is our own home, the place where we seek comfort and refuge. But what about those who do not have homes? the homeless who sleep on streets or makeshift shelters? How are they going to find comfort from the harsh, cold winter? Yes - many of us are in exile right now and what we need most of all is… comfort.
This reminds me of a story of a little girl who came home from a neighbour's house where her best friend had died. "Why did you go?" questioned her father. "To comfort her mother," said the child. "What could you do to comfort her?" "I climbed into her lap and cried with her."
In the December issue of Broadview magazine, I read this story of comfort from an article titled Who Deserves a Good Death? written by Karin Olafson. This is an excerpt of what Olafson wrote: A homeless person in downtown Victoria, Ille Jocelyn, knew in early spring that her cancer was incurable. And just as the days began to get longer and warmer last May, she died. But she didn’t die alone or in a dark downtown alley. She didn’t die delirious from pain. She died in a bed, cared for by people she trusted, with her end-of-life wishes fulfilled. Thanks to mobile palliative care workers Katie Leahy, a registered nurse and Dr. Fraser Black who are part of Victoria’s Palliative Outreach Resource Team. They came to Ille Jocelyn’s rescue, checked on her, stayed with her, gave her medicine that she needs, a gift card for groceries and a dose of compassionate care. At the time of her death, a shroud of uncertainty hung over the world, burying it under the weight of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite his heavy grief, Jocelyn’s friend Patrick Smith held a socially distanced memorial shortly after her passing. A small group gathered in May. Together, they grieved. Together, they shared memories of Jocelyn. They talked about her quick sense of humour and her fierce intelligence. They shared stories from when she owned a chocolate factory and helped lead a hedgehog rescue society. Olafson closed her article with these words of comfort: “And years after that springtime gathering, that group of people will remember who Ille Jocelyn was, beyond the challenges she experienced in life. It’s what everyone deserves.”
The reality is that when people suffer and need comfort but receives none, they often begin to feel a deep sense of isolation and abandonment, and then resorts to other things that may harm them instead of comfort them. Like the exiled Israelites, from time to time, we long to hear words of comfort. We want someone to console us, love us, heal us, and take us home. Imagine the darkest places of your life; the fear, the anger, the pain, the hurt. Wondering when, or whether, it will end. You carry guilt and regret like a worn-out suitcase wherever you go. The days are filled with “should haves” and the nights with “if only.” Over and over you see your life replayed to the point that you can see no future - only moments of exile, of alienation, of wilderness.
“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God". We are summoned by God to offer comfort in many ways that we can, through words and acts of love. These words need to be heard and felt by those who face death and life-threatening illnesses; those who suffer because of broken relationships; those who lost their jobs, those who face issues of economic poverty, homelessness, or those who experience great financial loss. These words must address those who lost everything as a result of a dictatorship government, or the greed and corruption of political leaders. These words need to be heard and felt by children and teenagers who are intimidated, bullied, rejected by their peers, those who have no friends, those who are abandoned by family. The victims of abuse badly need to hear these words. Women and children who suffer behind closed doors, because of physical, sexual and emotional abuse! You need to hear these words of comfort if you carry the heavy burden of self-blame or guilt. If you are pressed down by stress, hopelessness, sadness, loneliness and heartache, you need to be comforted. And when people, places and all of creation are truly comforted, true peace will come.
Jerusalem is about 600 miles from Babylon, and all of it—almost every mile—is desert – a desolate place, wilderness. Being in exile takes us to the wilderness. It’s a scary place to travel, a hard road to walk. The wilderness that the writer painted in this text may both be taken literally and metaphorically. Many of us have climbed the mountains of arrogance, ego, and pride. Likewise, we have descended into the valleys of despair, depression, and fear. We have travelled the rough and uneven ground of sorrow, loss, and pain. The wilderness is not so much about the geography around us as it is about the landscape within our heart, mind and spirit. To prepare the way of God is hard work. The writer declares, “elevate the valleys and flatten the mountains.” To prepare the way passable needs a whole transformation – and certainly not just on the potholes and curbs of the road – but a proper reconstruction of the heart – a transformation of everything that is wrong with oneself. The greed and hatred that distresses our soul - the selfishness– the unforgiving heart, these are things that prevent us being ready in this season of waiting. These are things that hinder the presence of peace in the world. Prepare the way for new life to come into your life. Make way for something new by letting go of irrelevant matters. Make way for new hopes by letting go of old disappointments. Make way for new joys by letting go of old fears. When you are able to name the places of exile and wilderness in your life, you will be able to name also the opportunities for comfort and homecoming. Then and only then, can people truly experience the gift of shalom, salaam, peace.
Advent is an intentional time of truth-telling and advocacy work. And it comes with a price – great self-reflection, risk-taking, self-sacrifice and the work of transformation. And the people will be healed. And the land will be restored. And the world will be at peace. Thanks be to our Advent God. Amen.

Prayers of the People and the Lord’s Prayer: Rev. Kim Vidal
Let us gather our hearts in prayer…
O God we call… We call that your way into our hearts may be prepared. We pray that the path among us, by which your voice is heard, be made straight. Disturb us in the hustle and bustle of our lives – to take initiative and responsibility for hope and peace for the world.
O God we call… Prepare among us the path of hope. We thank you for your presence in our lives and for the renewal of hope that you inspire within us each day. Guide us to live as though we are on a sacred journey savouring each day as a blessing. Let the peace that comes from Christ be our hope.
O God we call… Prepare among us the path of healing. We pray for those of us who need healing– those of us who are overwhelmed by illness, recovery of treatment and health challenges. We remember those who are grieving – those who mourn the death of a loved one. We pray for those who are distressed by the end of relationships or employment, for those who are homeless, those who live in the midst of emotional difficulty or economic poverty. We continue to pray for our health and essential workers and all of us and the world affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
O God we call… Prepare among us the path to peace. Grant us peace for ourselves – whatever problems or stresses that beset us, remind us, O God, that you are our constant companion. Grant us the peace that comes in treating others fairly, in questioning the systems that oppress those whose voices are barely heard or not heard at all. We pray for a world where peace and the exercise of human rights among nations abide. We pray for those who live in terror, women, men and children, who are beaten or abused and those human rights are violated. Heal us all, God of peace.
O God we call… Prepare among us the path of justice. We pray for those in the world seeking justice in the midst of terror and fear - that their rights to live as human beings may be reaffirmed. We pray for those serving us in uniform that they may exercise their power and authority with fairness and justice. Teach us to have a heart that is vigilant – treating others and all of your creation with dignity, worth and love.
Now in silence, we call on you to hear the petitions and longings of our hearts….
O God we call… we call on you to grant us the grace to prepare a welcoming space for you in our lives. Help us to embrace the gifts of Advent that we may hear your voice crying to us in our lives. We ask these in the name of Jesus Christ who taught his followers this prayer that we recite in the language of our choice:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kin-dom come, thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kin-dom, the power and the glory,
Forever and ever,
Amen.
Invitation to Offer: Rev. Lorrie Lowes
In this busy season, our most important preparations will happen here in our hearts when we make a way for God to come into our lives, when we "prepare the way of the Lord." In the midst of our preparations, we bring gifts to share so that God's love will shine brightly through the ministry of this church and in our own lives as well.
Let us gather our time, talents and treasures together and present them as an offering to God.
If you are not on PAR and wish to send in your offering and donations, you can drop them in the slot by the kitchen door of the church or mail them to BCUC. You can also send in your support through e-transfer. Thank you for your continued love and support to BCUC.
Offertory Prayer: (spaciousfaith.com)
Holy One, this Advent season we wait in peace,
And we give in peace.
A peace deeper than our anxiety and fear.
A peace growing from our trust in your loving power.
Receive these generous offerings,
And use them to bring your peace to our world. Amen.
Sending Forth: Rev. Kim Vidal
(Robin Wardlaw, Gathering A/C/E 2017/2018, p30. Used with permission.)
Enter this Advent week with peace.
Enter this Advent with patience.
May our waiting be rich and the presence of our God
full and near to us.
Bear God’s peace to this world,
like one candle overcoming the shadows.
May God’s peace sustain us all. Amen.
Hymn: Comfort, Comfort Now My People – Voices United #883
1 Comfort, comfort now my people,
speak of peace, so says our God;
comfort those who sit in darkness,
mourning under sorrow's load.
Cry out to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them;
tell them that their sins I cover,
and their warfare now is over.
2 For the herald's voice is crying
in the desert far and near,
bidding all to true repentance,
God’s judgement now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Let the valleys rise in meeting
and the hills bow down in greeting.
3 Then make straight what long was crooked,
make the rougher places plain;
Let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits his holy reign.
For the glory of our God
now on earth is shed abroad;
and all flesh shall see the token
that God’s word is never broken.
