Advent is the season in the life of the church where we prepare ourselves for the coming of the Christ Child on Christmas day. We reflect on this first coming of Christ as a reminder of God’s enduring love for us, the gift of life we’ve been offered, and that God is still at work in our world today. This week, we light the candle of joy and encourage you to…

• Stand with someone who is waiting and struggling with peace

• Read “the rest of the story” in Revelation 21-22 Ask someone if you can help carry their burdens (Galatians 6:2)
