Our Work Unfinished

In the waiting
the Advent, coming of Christ
we must continue
our work unfinished
sharing the good news

Joining the heavenly chorus
the saints up in the sky
heralding the coming of the king
the Messiah, arise

Sing with the angels
hark, hear the news,
in the night of this world
Christ has come to save
love come down to earth
to bring us home to God

Prayer of Dedication,
by Reverend Huntley Halvorson,
“Loving God, we eagerly anticipate the joy-filled
celebration of Jesus’ birthday party. We hear again the
news of peace on earth and good will to all. So we offer
these gifts to you; so that the good news of Christ’s birth
will once more be heard by all, and that we will come
closer to that day of peace. In the name of Christ at whose
birth all heave sang we pray. Amen”
