Advent

Hope is here: prayers for Advent

For 2021, JPIT has produced five Advent candle-lighting prayers, for the four Sundays in Advent and Christmas Eve/Christmas Day services.

These new prayers are themed around peace and justice, and are suitable for all kinds of services which feature the lighting of advent candles.

For each week of Advent, there is a six-per-page printable to distribute to your in-person congregation – this can be printed double-sided if you wish. There is also a one-per-page printable for up-front use each week.
