Education in Faith

Sunday 27th November  

  First Sunday of Advent

Gospel: Matthew 24: 37–44

The Lord is coming when you least expect.

This week, we light the candle of Hope on the Advent wreath.

As we light the candle of hope, we remember our own actions and think about the ways we can bring hope to our world.

Our Advent Prayer

God of hope, who brought love into this world,

be the love that dwells between us.

God of hope, who brought peace into this world,

be the peace that dwells between us.

God of hope, who brought joy into this world,

be the joy that dwells between us.

God of hope, the rock we stand upon,

be the centre, the focus of our lives

always, and particularly this Advent time.

Come, Lord Jesus, and show us the way to be your light to all in need. 

To clear away the darkness, we light a candle of hope.

Amen
