Peace

Reader: The second week of advent is a prayer for peace. In a world deeply divided…

ALL: CHRIST IS OUR PEACE, HE BREAKS DOWN EVERY DIVIDING WALL

Reader: In a world filled with hostility and hatred…

ALL: CHRIST IS OUR PEACE, HE TEACHES US TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES.

Reader: In a world of war, where violence never ends…

ALL: CHRIST IS OUR PEACE, HE INVITES US TO TAKE UP OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM.

Reader: A shoot will grow up from a stump of Jesse; a branch will sprout from his roots.

ALL: THE LORD’S SPIRIT WILL REST UPON HIM, A SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING

Reader: Righteousness will be the belt around his hips, and faithfulness the belt around his waist.

ALL: THE WOLF WILL LIVE WITH THE LAMB, AND THE LEOPARD WILL LIE DOWN WITH THE YOUNG GOAT; AND A LITTLE CHILD WILL LEAD THEM.

Reader: They won’t harm or destroy anywhere on my holy mountain.

ALL: THE EARTH WILL SURELY BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD, JUST AS THE WATER COVERS THE SEA. LET EARTH RECEIVE HER KING!

Christmas Cards ~ The Youth group will NOT be passing out Christmas Cards this year. INSTEAD we will be sharing a Christmas Card Wall in the church family.

You are also welcome to mail your card to the church address.
