THE LIGHTING OF THE ADVENT CANDLES
Leader: Advent hope moves us; Advent love leads us; Advent joy stirs us;
Advent peace stills us, that we might affirm our King Jesus. It is time we
set flame to the Advent affirmation by lighting the Christ Candle.
Congregation: We believe that Jesus is the Son of God. He was born of the
Virgin Mary in Bethlehem of Judea. He was the long-awaited Messiah
whose coming was prophesied. The same Jesus lives today. He deserves
our highest loyalty and total commitment. In Jesus Christ, our hope is
fulfilled; our love is consummated; our joy is complete and our peace is
sealed. Rejoice, a Savior is born!
