Reader 1:
Today we light the hope candle. How our world needs hope.
Jesus, a light to shine in the darkness.
God, come to be with us
Song: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Spoken Word Poem written to share in Worship:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Through him all things were made. In him was life and that life was the light of all humankind. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.”
Oh, the dark feels heavy sometimes
The shadows sit on our shoulders like a weight of grief, cynicism, fear.
But beyond the clouds the sun beckons us to its warmth
Memories of sunrise and radiant beams on our face
Son of God, love’s pure light. Radiant beams from your holy face.
A dawn of redeeming grace,
Possibilities break in
Life wins
Jesus
A tiny heartbeat of God so near
Pulsing with radiant hope
Breaking into the ordinary
To transform these moments into grace
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Jesus.
