1st Week of Advent Keep up until the Advent song is starting

Not quite time to celebrate, Until Advent time is done. Advent Song Tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” Advent is a time to wait Not quite time to celebrate, Count the candles 1 by 1, Until Advent time is done. Day by day we work and play,  To prepare for Christmas day! Put up during singing

we praise You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, for He is Emmanuel, Lord, our God, we praise You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, for He is Emmanuel, the Hope of all people. He is the Wisdom that teaches and guides us. He is the Saviour of us all. O Lord, let your blessing come upon us as we light the first and second candles of this wreath. May the wreath and its light be a sign of Christ’s promise of salvation. May He come quickly and not delay. We ask this in His holy name. Amen. Put up during the reading of the intro prayer

Light the Advent candle,one; Now the Waiting has begun We have started on our way, Time to think of Christmas day. Candle, candle, burning bright, Shining in the cold winter night; Fill our hearts with Christmas light. Put up while singing

Response: Come Lord Jesus Keep up during the intersessions

Loving and powerful God, Some days I can only be in awe of your power and love. You never tire of supporting me. I constantly ask for help knowing you will always be there. From some place deep in my soul, I hear you calling me by name and I prepare with a joyful heart for your coming. Grant me the gift of hope, patience and waiting in these Advent days because I want the focus of my waiting to be on you. I want to praise and glorify you with my life. Let me live my gratitude to you, rejoicing! Amen Keep up during the closing prayer
