Here’s
a responsive opening act of worship for the Advent season. It comes from Grace Church in Ealing, London.
Opening Call to Worship and Prayer:
Seeking Light
In
this season of waiting, of longing,
of
looking for you to come into our world
We
are seeking light
[Light candles]
In
our own lives
We are seeking light
In
our neighbourhoods
We are seeking light
In
our families
We are seeking light
In
our work
We are seeking light
In
Grace
We are seeking light
In
our nation
We are seeking light
In
our world
We are seeking light
In… [add your own longings]
We are seeking light
Seek
and you shall find
Knock
and the door will be opened
Ask
and it will be given to you
Jesus Christ you are
the light of the world
May we have eyes to see
you
And ears to hear you
Come into our world today
Amen
