*OPENING HYMN O Come, O Come, Emmanuel # 211

CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER

O God our incarnate Lord, Your will is justice for the poor and peace for the afflicted. Let Your herald’s urgent voice pierce our hardened hearts, and announce the dawn of Your kingdom. Before the advent of one who baptizes with the fire of the Holy Spirit let our complacency give way to conversion of heart, mind and soul. Let us then live in truth, mercy, justice and love. Resolve every conflict and accept one another in the love of Christ. We ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, whose coming draws near and is certain, who lives and reigns with You. One God forever, Amen !
