Sunday Worship – 1st Sunday of Advent – December 1, 2019

November 30, 2019

Opening Prayer

Eternal God, we are seeking signs of your presence in our lives. Open our eyes, open our ears, open our hearts to receive some word of hope as we anticipate the coming of the One whom you are sending. Amen.

Prayer of Confession

Good and gracious God, in this season of your coming, the darkness in us deepens awaiting your light. It is easy to forget human sorrow, deny pity, excuse indifference, and ignore the needs around us. Can we find a place in our lives for you as we await your coming? Bring a new day, O Lord, to disturb our busyness, that we may be ready to accept the forgiveness and rebirth you have to offer. Accept our prayer this day, and hear us as we offer the prayers of our hearts in silence. Amen
