Take a moment of silence. Share around the circle a commitment to do a healing act to ready yourself for Christmas. After sharing, pray together from Psalm 146 below.
LEADER: The Holy One secures justice for the oppressed and food for the hungry. God sets captives free.
ALL: Come, Holy One, make us whole and holy.
LEADER: Our God gives sight to the blind and raises up those who have fallen down.
ALL: Come, Holy One, make us whole and holy.
SING: O come,
our wisdom from on high
and order all things with
your loving eye.
Show us your gentle wisdom’s way.
And teach us how to live her love each day.
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel, to you shall come Emmanuel.
