In that chant, Mrs. Liller will sing the minor key melody which pleads, \u201cO Come, O Come Emmanuel.\u201d The audience will echo Liller\u2019s melody with the triumphant major key response of \u201cRejoice! Rejoice!  Emmanuel! Shall come to thee O Israel.\u201d<br \/>\nDeacon Jessie Anders will offer a modern Advent reading, after she lights the first candle on the Advent wreath, symbolic of believer\u2019s hope in Christ. The Westminster Choir will echo Anders sentiments when they perform Alberto Taule\u2019s 1972 Spanish carol appropriately titled, \u201cAll Earth is hopeful, the Savior comes at last\/Furrows lie open, for God\u2019s creative task!\u201d<br \/>\nEpworth Manor chaplain and Presbyterian preaching pastor Mark Liller will present a message entitled, \u201cShadows of Advent.\u201d Using Mark 13: 1 to 31 as his scriptural foundation, Reverend Liller will remind listeners that even as the shadows of this advent darken the lives of believers, hope appears on the horizon as people commemorate again the birth of Jesus Christ.<br \/>\nFinally, Tyrone Presbyterians will commemorate this first Sunday of Advent and the new church year when they gather around the communion table to celebrate the Lord\u2019s Supper &#8211; until He comes again.<br \/>\nEven as economic shadows engulf the nation in this Advent 2008, Tyrone Presbyterians encourage the people of Tyrone join them for 10:30 worship this Sunday, November 30, 2008, where they can cast away those shadows and join in the hopeful song sung by church members at the close of this advent service: \u201cOn Jordon\u2019s bank the Baptist\u2019s cry\/Announces that the Lord is nigh\/Awake and hearken, for he brings\/Glad tidings of the King of Kings.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 10:30 morning worship this Sunday, November 30, 2008, Tyrone Presbyterians will welcome Advent 2008 as a new church year will unfold with ancient chants, modern advent readings, an advent message, and the Lord\u2019s Supper.
