2nd Sunday of Advent & Holy Communion

Advent is a sacred time in our Church year marked by a spirit of expectation, preparation, and of longing. This is a season of hope and possibility, where we are reminded that God enters our lives again and again in new ways.

This Sunday, December 9 in worship we continue our journey through Advent, and our Advent Worship Series “Checking, Decking and Dashing” by exploring the theme of “Decking with love.”  This Advent we rethink how we approach Christmas and refocus on preparing our hearts, homes and lives for the coming of the Christ-child.  This Sunday we will light the Advent Candle of Love and celebrating Holy Communion together as a church family.

Scripture: Mark 1: 1-8
Theme: What if we rethink what we are celebrating?  Tis the season to be overwhelmed, and the reason for the season can get lost in the shuffle.  John the Baptist’s role was to prepare the way for Christ.  Just as we deck our halls by decorating our homes for the holidays, we deck our lives with the true meaning of Christmas.  By showing love, we counter the “bah humbug” attitude we could easily fall into this time of year.
