Welcome to the first of our Midweek Advent Services.
On these Thursday nights we’re focusing on the Advent collect. Tonight, we reflect on “Casting away the works of darkness.”
Almighty God,
Give us grace to cast away the works of darkness
and to put on the armour of light
now in the time of this mortal life
in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility;
that on the last day
when he shall come again in his glorious majesty
to judge the living and the dead,
we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
