Lighting of the Second Advent Candle by Leslie and Sandy Schustereit.

See, I am sending MY messenger to prepare the way before ME, says the LORD of hosts.

The light of HOPE has awakened our spirits.

A voice cries out in the wilderness, "Prepare ye the way of the LORD. Make HIS paths straight."

Renew in us your covenant, O GOD, that we may be ready for the dawn of your salvation.

We light a second candle to bring light to every darkness and to guide us in the way of peace.

With gratitude for YOUR light, O GOD, we prepare to welcome the CHRIST of YOUR love. Amen.
