Scripture Sentences
(may be read by one person or divided into parts)

When you did awesome deeds that we did not expect, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4From ages past no one has heard, no ear has perceived,no eye has seen any God besides you, who works for those who wait for him.
5You meet those who gladly do right, those who remember you in your ways.
From Isaiah 64:3-5a (NRSV)


The Lighting of the Advent Candle
Loving God, with our hearts still full of thanksgiving, hear us as we raise our thanks to you for the greatest gift, your Son Jesus. Fill us with gratitude in this season of expectation. As we bring light to this candle, so may you bring light to our world. Amen.
