English Luke 1:46-55 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” THE WORD OF THE LORD.

GOSPEL Luke 1:26-38

P: The Gospel according to St. Luke 1st chapter C: Glory to you, O Lord.

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you." But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end." Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" The angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God." Then Mary said, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her. P: THE WORD OF THE LORD. C: Praise to you, O Christ!

Español PRIMERA LECTURA (SENTADOS)



LUCAS CAPÍTULO 1 VERSOS 46-55

María dijo: «Mi alma alaba la grandeza del Señor; mi espíritu se alegra en Dios mi Salvador. Porque Dios ha puesto sus ojos en mí, su humilde esclava, y desde ahora siempre me llamarán dichosa; porque el Todopoderoso ha hecho en mí grandes cosas. ¡Santo es su nombre! Dios tiene siempre misericordia de quienes lo reverencian. Actuó con todo su poder: deshizo los planes de los orgullosos, derribó a los reyes de sus tronos y puso en alto a los humildes. Llenó de bienes a los hambrientos y despidió a los ricos con las manos vacías. Ayudó al pueblo de Israel, su siervo, y no se olvidó de tratarlo con misericordia. Así lo había prometido a nuestros antepasados, a Abraham y a sus futuros descendientes.» PALABRA DE DIOS C: Te alabamos Señor.

EL EVANGELIO

P: El Santo Evangelio según San Lucas capítulo 1 C: ¡Gloria a ti, Oh Señor! A los seis meses, Dios envió al ángel Gabriel a Nazaret, pueblo de Galilea, a visitar a una joven virgen comprometida para casarse con un hombre que se llamaba José, descendiente de David. La virgen se llamaba María. El ángel se acercó a ella y le dijo: ¡Te saludo, tú que has recibido el favor de Dios! El Señor está contigo. Ante estas palabras, María se perturbó, y se preguntaba qué podría significar este saludo. No tengas miedo, María; Dios te ha concedido su favor le dijo el ángel. Quedarás encinta y darás a luz un hijo, y le pondrás por nombre Jesús. Él será un gran hombre, y lo llamarán Hijo del Altísimo. Dios el Señor le dará el trono de su padre David, y reinará sobre el pueblo de Jacob para siempre. Su reinado no tendrá fin. ¿Cómo podrá suceder esto le preguntó María al ángel, puesto que soy virgen? El Espíritu Santo vendrá sobre ti, y el poder del Altísimo te cubrirá con su sombra. Así que al santo niño que va a nacer lo llamarán Hijo de Dios. También tu parienta Elisabet va a tener un hijo en su vejez; de hecho, la que decían que era estéril ya está en el sexto mes de embarazo. Porque para Dios no hay nada imposible. Aquí tienes a la sierva del Señor contestó María. Que él haga conmigo como me has dicho. Con esto, el ángel la dejó. P: EL EVANGELIO DEL SEÑOR C: ¡Alabanza a ti, Oh Cristo!

"THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY"

HYMN OF THE DAY

UNEXPECTED AND MYSTERIOUS Unexpected and mysterious is the gentle Word of grace. Everloving and sustaining is the peace of God’s embrace. If we falter in our courage and we doubt what we have known, God is faithful to console us as a mother tends her own. In a momentary meeting of eternity and time, Mary learned that she would carry both the mortal and divine. Then she learned of God’s compassion, of Elizabeth’s great joy, and she ran to greet the woman who would recognize her boy. We are called to ponder myst’ry and await the coming Christ, to embody God’s compassion for each fragile human life. God is with us in our longing to bring healing to the earth, while we watch with joy and wonder for the promised Savior’s birth.

Note: Modified mission gift plan now given for 3/4 of the year. November 2014 YTD income includes $104,000 of deficit support, without which the projection for ending the year net zero would not be possible. Thank You for your continued support! Last year 2013 end deficit = $119,000 shortfall.

Parking Ramp Reminder There are parking ramp pass cards to get at the Reception desk, if you've not already received one for your car. Not a limit of one per family; please make this process convenient for you - and pick up one per vehicle and simply leave it in the vehicle from week to week! Just remember, these ramp pass cards are only activated to cover your parking on Sunday mornings, 7am - 1pm. They will not work at other times you're downtown or at Bethel. A Service of Comfort, Loss and Hope The holidays can be a time of grieving and sorrow for many. This is also when the days are shortest and the nights get very long. Join Pastors Alison and Antonio for a bilingual Blue Christmas service at noon and 6:00pm on Monday, December 22. We will worship together to bring some light into our darkness through song, scripture and communion. The First Annual Bethel Collegiate Sunday Tailgate! On January 4th we invite you to wear your school colors (whatever your alma mater may be, or the alma mater of a family member/friend) and join your Bethel friends for an Emmaus Room tailgate potluck after each service. Bring your favorite tailgate treat or dish and we will provide some “tailgate-style” beverages. Tables will be set up in the Emmaus room to provide an opportunity for you to connect with other alumni and current students. So bring your school spirit and reminisce with old friends or connect with new ones! Bethel Searching for Pilgrimage Companions Pilgrimage is the new entry program into Bethel – it is how someone becomes a “member.” The most vital role in the program is that of the Companion. Companions journey with “Pilgrims” by answering questions, attending classes on Sunday mornings and standing as witness

during ceremonial rites in worship. As a Companion you simply need to be present for them and serve as a gateway into the Christian community at Bethel. Please call Pastor Joe with any questions or for more information, [email protected]. Bethel Christian Men’s Fellowship January 6: Stay SAFE Making sure your home is safe is important for you and for those you care about.

Visiting at 10:30am, program at 11am and lunch at noon. $6. Christmas Meals at Luke House Luke House will be serving special meals on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as well as New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
