Here’s an
contemporary call to worship for Advent or Christmas from Cheryl Lawrie’s [hold this space] website.
gathering
We gather -
people of faith
and no faith,
people of hope
and no hope,
people of peace
and no peace.
people of faith
and no faith,
people of hope
and no hope,
people of peace
and no peace.
we gather
with the longing
to be made whole again
if just for this time, here
and now
to be made whole again
if just for this time, here
and now
we gather
with a prayer,
however vague and tenuous,
that in spite of the absence
of virgins and angels,
wise men
and shepherds,
we might still be a witness
to the birth of all love.

we gather
as ready as we’ll ever be
for this story of faith to unfold.
