November 29: The First Sunday in Advent

A Collect by Lavon Bayler

Direct our attention, O God, above the turmoil of our times, beyond the distress of human greed. We look for signs that you realm is near, that your Word rules the world. Free us from the weight of heavy cares to bear your joyous truth into our relationships. Join us together in a spirit of thanksgiving and earnest prayer.

(From Gathered by Love, Pilgrim Press, 2001)
