We are waiting, O God, for the day of peace. Give us the will to
bring that day through our own simple goodness and hope. Fill us with patient
desire, that our work may be holy, and our holiness bright, through the Christ
for whose coming we long, and the Spirit in whose presence we live. Amen.
Affirmation of Faith
We believe in God,
Who bends and kneel towards our world,
Drenching it with love,
Making new with every breath.
We believe!
We believe in Jesus,
God become human,
Who brought every person
A spark of the divine.
We believe!
We believe in the Spirit,
Hovering God, present among us,
Abiding, upholding,
Awaking all things to her grace.
We believe!
We believe we are called to do justice,
Love kindness, and walk humbly
With God and each other,
Ready for God’s reign, awake and alert,
As we work to bring it near.
We believe!
We believe we are called,
As Christmas comes close,
To lift up our hearts in hope and in love,
Seeking God’s advent
In each moment and person,
Each challenge and heartache,
Each blessing and joy.
We believe!
This we promise to do.
Keep us faithful, Lord Jesus, and come soon.
Come soon! Amen.
