Post Communion, First Sunday of Advent (Children's Reboot)

God, we were waiting to pray.

Now we are praying.

Please help us to pray.
We are thinking about you.

Remind us that you love us.

We are waiting for Christmas.
Help us with the wait.

Amen.

Collect, First Sunday of Advent (Children's Reboot)

God you are strong. You are gentle.

We think your love is like a sunrise.

Thank you that Jesus is like the brightest sun.

Help us be like little lights.

Help us shine brightly too.

Amen.
