Sunday 27 November is the start of Advent — the time when churches around the world celebrate begin a season of reflection and preparation for the birth of Jesus Christ. May we make the coming weeks a time of preparation, not just for our homes but in our hearts also.
In this Advent of expectation
draw us together in unity,
that our praise and worship
might echo in these walls
and also through our lives.
In this Advent of expectation
draw us together in mission,
that the hope within
might be the song we sing,
and the melody of our lives.
In this Advent of expectation
draw us together in service,
that the path we follow
might lead us from a stable
to a glimpse of eternity.
Amen
