PEACE = SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT!

Great place to be during ADVENT is with God's people!

"Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" are shared words of John the Baptist from Matthew3:2. (Pastor Dave)

Whether it's an older couple or a young family, it's a blessing seeing families come together to share in the lighting of the advent wreath.

The second purple candle is for PEACE.

Peace = wholeness and flourishing. (Pastor Buddy, ABC) 

Such peace is needed in both the church and throughout the world. 

HARK!!

HARK!

Listen! Listen carefully.

Look back. Pay close attention. Heed. 

The ones in Biblical times who were heralds of the birth of Christ were announcers of the birth of the newborn King.....Jesus!

"Hark the Herald Angels Sing" my favorite carol!

Hark!” The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born king.” Mild He lays His glory by; born that man no more may die— Born to raise the sons of earth. Born to give them second birth—. Hark! The herald angels sing....... 

Glory to the new-born king!

Hark for sure!

CHOOSE: TOO CELEBRATE LIGHT ON THIS 2nd SUNDAY Of ADVENT

As the magi followed the great "light" that rose in the east to find the Lord, (Matthew 2:2) God's word is our light which not only leads us to Him but allows Him to lead us.

Your word is a lamp unto to my feet and a light and a light for my path. (Psalm 119:105)
