Preparing to Pray in Advent and Christmas Worship
In preparation for public prayer this Advent and Christmas, we offer this Advent prayer based on the Lord’s Prayer, loosely adapted from The Worship Sourcebook. Also see “On Earth as in Heaven,” a service of Lessons and Carols based on the Lord’s Prayer.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name.
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace—hallowed be your name.

Immanuel, God with us—hallowed be your name. continued…
