Call to Worship:
We come to hear the whispered voice of hope, gathered in the light the Prince of Peace sheds on our world. We gather to call upon love, the love that was shown to us in the birth of a child. May the light shine in our lives & from our lives, spreading peace to all we meet. Come! Let us worship in joy & thanksgiving.
We Sing:
Voices United #60 - O Come, All Ye Faithful vs 1 & 3
Opening Prayer (unison)
God of wonder and light, sunny days and starry nights;
We gather to seek hope for our lives and for our world. We come to you, O God, with hearts that long to be at peace. We gather now, to celebrate the birth of a special baby. You are the source and fountain of love. You are born anew with each deed of kindness, each act of love. Fill our hearts with joy in the knowledge that you come again to each of us. Amen.
Advent Candle Lighting – The Christ Candle
Prayer:
God, our hearts sing with joy and praise because of Jesus. At this happy season, we rejoice that Jesus came among us. By his birth and life, he has shown us that we are your people and that we are greatly loved. Help us to remember Christmas all year long by giving to others the gifts of life: hope, peace, joy, love, kindness and understanding. Amen
