+Please stand when offering a prayer, so others will know you have the floor.
-ONE: We light this Advent candle to remember those persons who have been loved and lost. We pause to remember their name, their face, their voice. We give thanks for the memory that binds them to us this season which anticipates Christmas.
-ALL: '''MAY GOD'S ETERNAL LOVE SURROUND THEM'''
+====The Lord's Prayer====
+Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
-ONE: We light this second candle to redeem the pain of loss: the loss of relationships, the loss of jobs, the loss of health. As we gather up the pain of the past, we offer it to You, O God, asking that into our open hands, You will place the gift of peace.
+Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
-ALL: '''REFRESH, RESTORE, RENEW US, O GOD, AND LEAD US INTO YOUR FUTURE.'''
+Give us this day our daily bread,
-ONE: We light this third candle to remember ourselves this Christmas time. We pause and remember the past weeks, months and for some of us, years of down times. We remember the poignancy of memories, the grief, the sadness, the hurts, the pain of reflecting on our own mortality.
+and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
-ALL: '''LET US REMEMBER THAT DAWN DEFEATS DARKNESS'''
+Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
-ONE: This fourth candle is lit to remember our faith and the gift of hope which God offers to us in the Christmas story. We remember that God who shares our life, promises us a place and time of no more pain and suffering.
+for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
-ALL: '''LET US REMEMBER THE ONE WHO SHOWS THE WAY AND WHO GOES WITH US INTO OUR TOMORROWS.'''
+Amen.
-== Prayers of the People: ==
+===Closing Prayer===
-This is a time to lift specific prayers for yourself or others carrying heavy burdens. It can be as simple as a name. At the end of each prayer, please say, “Loving God, hear our prayer.” Everyone else can respond “And in your merciful love, answer.”
