Advent Wreath Liturgy

First Sunday of Advent

Celebrant: Today we light the first candle of the Advent wreath. Each candle has a meaning.

This first candle is HOPE.

The candle is lit.

Scripture: Psalm 33:20

We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.

Prayer:

Eternal God, as we await the coming of our savior, give us the courage to hope. Give us grace to see your plans of redemption for our lives, for this community, and for the world.

Through Jesus Christ, the source of our redemption and hope. Amen
