Advent Reading for Sunday, November 28, 2021

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Speaker 1: Lighting a candle in the darkness helps us find our way. In darkness we lose direction. We cannot see where we have been or where we are going. A single candle, flickering brightly, helps us find our way again.

Speaker 2: “Stir up your might, and come to save us. Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved” (Psalm 80:2b-3).

The first candle is lit.

Speaker 3: Light one candle; see it glow Brightly, so that all may know How one candle shows the way Making our darkness bright as God’s day.

Speaker 4: Let us pray, “Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved. On this first Sunday in Advent, let this light shine brightly as the days grow shorter, so that we will be ready for your face to shine upon us at Christmas. In the Savior’s name we pray. Amen.”
