Turn off: For a few minutes turn off all distractions.  Mobile phone, chat, TV, radio, mp3 player....

Tune in: When you are ready slowly read these words.

Today is a new day

A gift from above.

A billion miracles of creation,

Each atom spinning by your love.

And as the sunlight strikes the cold ground

our earth is born again.

Christ our King we worship you.

You are like the light of the morning

You are like the golden sunrise

You are like the brightness that comes after the rain

You are like the springtime that brings grass to the earth

In the morning you hear our voices.

And in the morning we ask your help and wait in expectation

In this season of Advent, we are hear to watch and wait and pray for the coming of light into the world.  We long for the day when the things of darkness - selfishness and greed, suffering and oppression -  shall be no more.

Get reading:

    God, you created every part of me;

    you put me together in my mother’s womb.

    When my bones were being formed,

    when i was growing there in secret,

    you knew that I was there;

    you saw me before I was born.

    God, where can I go to escape you?
    Where can I go to escape from you?

    Where could I go to escape your presence?

    If I flew away beyond the East,

    or lived in the farthest place in the West,

    you would be there to lead me;

    you would be there to help me.

                        (from psalm 139)

Silence: Sit silently for at least one minute.  You may wish to close your eyes.

Get ready: Read slowly.....

For all people, struggling to be bearers of hope in a troubled world.

God, as we wait for your promise,

Give light, give hope.

May we see and know God In the world that’s around us.

May God take us through desert and take us through storms.

May God guide us, protect us, and give us a purpose.

Lord, give us your peace wherever you take us.

Bless us joyfully home.

Bless us joyfully home.

+In the name of the Creator, and of the Redeemer, and of the Companion. Amen.
