Vestry Prayer Advent 2 year 'C'

Lord God our loving Father as we come to worship you on this second Sunday in advent we pray for this time of worship. We ask Lord that you make a way for us today to worship you as the living God with our hearts and minds fully concentrated on you and the things of the kingdom.
We pray for for our brother/sister N.... this morning and ask that as they have prepared to lead us in worship this morning we might respond by those who heard John the Baptist as he made a way for your arrival.
We pray Lord for your presence a blessing to be with each on of us this day and give you all the thanks and praise for you alone are worthy. Amen.
