Week One Advent Wreath Lighting Devotional – Hope – December 3![]()
Read together the following meditation:![]()
SAY: Advent is a time of waiting and of hoping. We light candles as we wait for the day when we celebrate again the birth of Jesus, the Light of the World. We hope that everyone will come to know God and to worship God.![]()
ASK: What is hope?![]()
EXPLAIN: Hope is looking forward to something wonderful. It’s expecting something good to happen. It’s light in the darkness.![]()
LIGHT one purple candle on your wreath.![]()
SONG: “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus”![]()
READ: Isaiah 9:2 and Matthew 24:36-44![]()
DISCUSS: What are some things you hope for? What are some ways our family can give hope to others? What’s so hopeful about Jesus coming into the world?![]()
PRAY: O Lord, our God, thank you for not leaving us in the darkness but for sending your light into the world instead. Help us to shine your light in the dark and dreary corners of the world. May your light and love radiate from us and give hope where it seems that all hope is lost. Help us to remember to walk in the light of the Lord as we wait for you to come again. AMEN.
