You may say, Peace be with you. The response is And also with you. (Children ages 4 through 1 st Grade may now be dismissed for Children s Church) ADVENT CANDLE LIGHTING Song of Preparation The Advent Candles A candle is burning, a candle of Peace; A candle to signal that conflict must cease. For Jesus is coming to show us the way; A message of Peace humbly laid in the hay. A Prayer for Peace (responsively) As this season of sparkle and bright unfolds around us, the silent prayers of peace lie like stars hidden in a clouded night, May we inspire the world with peace. May we touch it to our lives that in every place of stress, frustration, or fear, we might feel the presence of peace easing our hearts and transforming our lives. And may we share the healing power with our children, that they might become the inspiration through which peace makes its way to a new yet-dreamt-of world. Worship, December 1, 2013 Page 2 First Sunday of Advent
