Leader We light this candle as a symbol of Christ our Hope. May the light sent from

God shine in the darkness to show us the way of salvation.

All O come, O come, Emmanuel.

Songs of Praise Mr Michael Song

TIME OF SIMULTANEOUS CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER

Shout for joy to the LORD…give thanks to Him and praise His name. (Psalm 100:1, 4)

Usually the congregation is given a specific time period, with a common theme of petition or

supplication. Then all pray aloud at the same time in the power of the Spirit.

(United Methodist Book of Worship 1992, pg 446)

PRAYER

SILENT & INTERCESSORY PRAYER

But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him. (Habakkuk 2:20)

TIME FOR WATCHING THE LORD

I will stand at my watch; I will look to see what he will say to me. (Habakkuk 2:1)

What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word

of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the

strengthening of the church. (1 Corinthians 14:26)
