Christmas 2021

December 25, 2021

The light shines in the darkness.

Help us to see.

To understand.

To share your truth.

To act in love.

To pursue peace.

Our hope is in that light.

The light shines through the darkness.

Amen

Advent 2021 Week 4

Lord, let your love flow in us and through us.

Heal us.

Help us.

Equip us to share your love.

To reach beyond ourselves.

To find a better way.

Amen

Advent 2021 Week 3

December 17, 2021

We await O Lord, your justice.

The promise that our mourning will end,

Our fighting will cease,

And both the oppressed and oppressor will be freed to a new way,

A way of compassion, of truth, of caring and love.

And we rejoice in the knowledge that the time for justice will come. Is. 25:9.

Amen

Advent 2021 Week 2

December 9, 2021

Help us find peace O Lord.

Peace within us.

Peace among us.

Peace through us.

Guide us with your vision.

The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat,

the calf and the yearling together, and a little child will lead them . . .

They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain,

for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” (Is. 11:6-9).

Amen.

Advent 2021 Week 1

December 3, 2021

He is coming.

And he brings the hope of a better world.

The oppressor will come to an end, and destruction will cease;

the aggressor will vanish from the land.

In love a throne will be established;

in faithfulness a man will sit on it –

one from the house of David –

one who in judging, seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.

[Isaiah 16:4-5]

We hope and wait.

Amen
