Advent 

The first Sunday of Advent 2020 was Sunday 29th November.

Here is the Advent prayer for this Sunday along with a video of the first candle being lit.

   God of Abraham and Sarah
    And all the patriarchs of old,
    You are our Father too.
    Your love is revealed in Jesus Christ,
    Son of God and Son of David.
    Help us in preparing to celebrate His birth
    To make our hearts ready for your Holy Spirit
    To make His home among us.
    We ask this through Jesus Christ
    The light who is coming into the world.
    Amen


 

Here is the prayer and video for week 2:

Lord Jesus, light of the world
the prophets said you would bring peace
and save your people in trouble.
Give peace in our hearts at Christmas
and show all the world God's love.
Amen
 

Here is the prayer and video for week 3:

Lord Jesus, light of the world
John told the people to prepare
for you were very near;
As Christmas grows closer day by day
help us to be ready to welcome you now.
Amen
 

And here is week 4 prayers and video. 

God our Father
the angel Gabriel told the virgin Mary
that she was to be the mother of your Son,
Though Mary was afraid,
she responded to your call with joy.
Help us, whom you call to serve you,
to share like her in your great work
of bringing to our world your love and healing
We ask this through Jesus Christ,
the light who is coming into the world.
Amen
 

And here is Christmas Day Advent candles being lit, with a short reflection and prayer:

Lord Jesus, light of light
you have come among us.
Help us to live by your light
to shine as lights in your world.
Glory to God in the highest,
Amen
