Come, O Light

Holy One, wherever we are, we are surrounded by your presence and immersed in your love. Help us to be alert. Help us to pay attention. May we listen with care for your holy voice speaking to us, so that as we walk through this season of darkness, we embody your Light in the world. Amen

Prayers of the People

Holy One, in offering witness to the prayers spoken in our circle today, may we hold the joys, concerns, and gratitude that were expressed with gentle care. And may we witness to our faith by offering hope to those experiencing grief, love to those feeling alone, and justice to those without voice or power. For the building of your Kin-dom. Amen
