Worship Prayers from Dec. 24

Call to Worship                                                                                  

A mother and a father finally rest in a barn...
           The Savior is coming!
Angels sing and shepherds run...
           The Savior is coming!
The stars shone bright and the Wise Men began their journey...
           The Savior is coming!
This evening, we joyfully light the Christ Candle, remembering the night when     
God's love came down at the birth of the King.  God loves us!
           The Savior is here!


Prayer of Invocation (unison)
O God of wonder, at the darkest time of year we burn candles to remind us of the coming of a great light.  We search the sky for the light of a luminous star.  On this holy night, we look toward Bethlehem to see the radiance shining from a humble stable.  Open our hearts to your gift to us of Jesus Christ.  May the light of his life be born in us tonight, God with us, God for us, God in us.  Amen
