Call to Worship ๐
Jesus says to you and to me:
โI am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness,
But will have the light of life.โ
Let us fix our eyes upon the true Light as we gather in worship today.

Prayer of Confession๐
Let us pray as we confess our sins and all that long for the advent
Almighty God,
Give us grace to cast away the works of darkness,
those sins we keep hidden, as if we can hide from you.
Give us humility to search our own hearts and acknowledge our own faults
And to seek forgiveness in such a way that our hearts are changed.
Give us courage to stand up for what is right, what is good, what is just
Even when it is a word we must speak against the world in which we live.
Forgive our silence and inaction when so many of your children are lost and hurting.
So that during this time of Advent we might live into the spirit of the season
And ready our hearts for the coming of Christ.
Amen.
