A caution regarding Prayers of the People online: Folks gathered in-person often recount a lot of detail in their prayers concerning other members or family (“Elderly Name, living alone, experiencing isolation…”). In a private, in-person gathering, this information may be safe, but online, it can expose vulnerable people to harm, since we can’t control who will join the gathering or access it later online. Please contact the Pastor directly by text or phone with prayer requests. Pastor Nathan will be prudent in offering prayers i.e. “For First name only, in need of healing”; “For First name only, comfort in grief” etc. Please contact the pastor directly with news of those needing extra pastoral care.

One: For such a time as this,
Many: God’s love becomes flesh. Again.
One: For such a time as this,
Many: A child born to us. Again.
One: Though the night of our despair long lingers,
Many: There comes a Light no shadow can overcome.
One: Though our hearts ache for a justice we cannot yet see,
Many: The Holy One works for those who watch and wait.
One: Though distanced for one another and well-acquainted with death,
Many: Our Deliverer draws near to bring us new life.
One: No ear has yet heard, no eye has yet seen God’s glory fully revealed
Many: And so we wait.
One: We know not when or where or how our Hope will be made manifest.
Many: And so we watch.
One: The One who loves us does not slumber.
Many: So let us keep awake.
One: Hope of the nations, come.
Many: Hope of our hearts, come.
The first candle is lit. Silence is kept.
All: For such a time as this, kindle our hope.

Prayers of the People and Lord’s Prayer
Our Mother-Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
