Prelude/Time of Meditation

*Call to Worship (Responsively)
Long ago, a voice cried out in the wilderness

Prepare the way for the Lord; make straight the pathways. 

Something new was about to happen.

God would visit His people in a new way!

Lord, open our hearts to receive this good news!

Prepare us to be people of great faith and compassion as we look forward to this wondrous event you have proclaimed to us.  Amen.
