Welcome and Intimations
Call to Worship

Please join in the words written in (brackets).

The voice of the Lord declares,
“Comfort, O comfort my people”.
(A voice cries out,
“Prepare the way of the Lord!”)
The paths before us may be rocky
and dangerous but God goes before us.
(There are new places to visit
and fresh angles on familiar places.)
The earth will be transformed,
God’s glory will be revealed.
(O God, we await your coming!
As we await, cleanse us. As we wait, transform us.)
Wherever the path may lead us, God is always there –
(and here among us today.)

Advent Prayer:
God of Peace, our world is full of angry voices calling for vengeance, calling for retribution masked as justice, calling for destruction as a lie for peace. But we know the true peace that comes from You is available for us all, if we seek it. If we follow You. May peace light our way in this world that desperately needs it. Amen.
