Prayer of Invocation (Unison)
Almighty God, we
come into your Presence searching for your light, longing for
the hope that only you can offer. Even in the darkest of places, you have
made
yourself
known, O God. Come now to us now during this time of worship, that we might be
filled with your light. Reveal yourself to us once again, that we might
proclaim the name of Jesus the Christ. We pray in his holy name. Amen.
