    FIRST ADVENT SERVICE

    GROW IN HOPE WITH JESUS


    Carol
    Today, we gather to begin the season of Advent, a time of joyful anticipation
    and preparation for the coming of Christ. Advent reminds us of the light that
    shines even in the darkest moments, a light that fills our hearts with hope .
    The Advent Wreath is an old German custom.The wreath is the symbol of
    eternity. The evergreens represent the unchangingness of God.The purple
    candles and ribbon remind us that we cannot follow the Divine way of life
    without hardships and penance.The pink candle shows us that life becomes full
    of joy when we follow Christ.

    The first candle of the Advent wreath, the Candle of Hope, represents the
    promise of God’s salvation and the hope we have in Jesus Christ. It is a
    reminder that, even as we wait, we can trust in the faithful promises of God.
    Lighting of the Candle
    Now I request. .........to light the first candle of advent
    VIDEO -candle of hope
    As we reflect on hope, let us listen to the Scripture reading.
    “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the
    land of deep darkness, a light has dawned.” (Isaiah 9:2)
    Reflection...
    This verse assures us that no matter how uncertain life may seem, God’s light
    and promises bring hope to all. Let us hold onto this hope as we enter this
    season of waiting and prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ.
    ACTIVITY
    Let us take a moment of quiet reflection during this Advent season, a time of
    hope, joy, and anticipation. Each of us carries a wish in our hearts—a hope for
    ourselves, our loved ones, or the world around us.
    I invite each of you to write your deepest wish on a piece of paper. Once
    you’ve written it, fold it, and come forward to staple it together with the
    others. We will then drop all our wishes into this earthen pot, symbolizing our
    trust in God’s power to make them bloom like seeds planted in fertile soil.
    Let us pray over these wishes, not only for our own but also for each other's
    hopes to come true during this magical season of Advent. May this simple act
    remind us of the faith, love, and unity we share as we wait for the coming of
    Christ.

    CAROL
    Concluding prayer
    Oh God our loving father, help us rightly to remember the birth of Jesus, that
    we may share the song of angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the
    worship of wise men. Close, the door of hate and open the door of love all over
    the world. Let kindness, come with every gift and good desires with every
    greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us
    to be merry with pure hearts.
    Amen.
