Advent Wreath Lighting for the First Week in Year B

Advent 1B (based on Isaiah 64:1-4 by Rev. Martha Spong)


Reader One: Isaiah the Prophet cried out to God, I wish you would open the heavens that separate us and come down, making the mountains quake because you are here. Make your name known to all who are against you. Make the nations tremble because of your presence.

Reader Two: You came before and did awesome deeds that we did not expect; you made our world shake at the sight of you. In all the history of the world, no ears have heard and no eyes have seen any God other than you.

Reader One: You work for those who wait for you.

Reader Two: We wait and hope, as we light this candle.

(Please pause as we light one candle, then respond.)

All: Loving God, come and shine your light in the world!
