Advent Wreath and Candle Lighting - The 1st Sunday of Advent
Dear brothers and sisters, as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in glory, let us pray that God will make us witnesses of Christ, the light of love, who has taken on our humanity to bring salvation to all people. (Pause for silent prayer)
Please respond to each prayer with; Lord come and save us
In devout and joyful expectation, let us call out to the Christ, who is our salvation. You came to turn the hearts of all to love of God and neighbor: so, we pray Lord come and save us
You come to enrich us with gifts of grace and knowledge: so, we pray Lord come and save us
You will come on a day we cannot know bringing redemption for all your faithful: so we pray; Lord come and save us
Please join in singing verse 1 of O Come, O Come Emmanuel/ or /Advent Candle Song
