Call to Worship #1050

In the midst of frenzied shopping and end-of-year weariness,
we gather together here
to read again the ancient stories,
and light a candle in the darkness, to celebrate a visitation.
Gathered here we declare our intention to live as if the greatest gift in the world were about to be placed into our hands
and as if the Giver has understood our deepest needs, our most heartfelt prayers.
