Longing for Light - December 2020

 

Introduction

the order of service recommends the lighting of four candles during the prayers.  It is written so that the heart of the service is an extended time of prayer and mediation you can adapt, for example, by combining ‘candles’ and listening to the Taize chant fewer times.

Hymn: Longing for Light

Prayer

Reading Psalm 13

Lighting the Darkness through Our prayers - followed by John 1:1-5 and final prayer 

After each section of prayer you are invited to use the Taize chant, Wait for the Lord, as you continue in prayer and meditation.  

The video below uses the chant twice with two sections of prayers for each:

Note: You may wish to use the text of the prayers (found in the worship at home sheet that accompanies this service) and the video of the chant in your own way.
