Bulletin 18 December 2022
 
As we light our advent candles
Light of the world shine on us.
As we prepare for Christmas time
Light of the world, shine on us.
 
In this world of pain and darkness,
Light of the world, shine through us.
To all the people who don’t know you,
Light of the world, shine through us.
 
Jesus you are coming again,
Light of the world, light the way.
In the service here today
Light of the world, light the way.
 
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light;
Those who lived in a land of deep darkness – on them light has shined.
For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
 
As we approach Christmas, O God, we wait with hopeful hearts for a fresh experience of your Holy presence in our lives.
Help us to have the patience to wait for you and to pay attention as did Joseph and Mary. Help us to be trusting and faithful as they were. May we continue to see your word come alive in our world.
