Gracious and merciful God, on this day when Advent is ending and little more can be done by human preparation, I commit to you all my incomplete tasks, my unfulfilled hopes, and my unprepared heart.  Lift them from me and give me in exchange peace and serenity to accept the gift of your Word and to hear anew tonight the Gospel of the birth of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

(This prayer from Rev Dr Timothy Lull)

 

Join us for worship tonight at 7:00 for a candlelit family service or at 11:00 for Candlelight Communion.
