In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen

We begin this morning by lighting one purple candle – our candle of hope!

Dear Jesus, you are the hope in our messy world. This Advent, help us slow down, listen to your voice, and focus on what’s really important. We place our hope in you as we prepare our hearts to celebrate your birth on Christmas. Amen.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
