The Season Of Advent
On Sunday we celebrate the third Sunday of Advent.
It is the Sunday of JOY as we get closer to the celebration of Christmas!
Sometimes we forget that Christmas is actually about giving, not receiving.
What kinds of things can we give to others as we get ready for Christmas?
The third candle on our Advent wreath is pink to celebrate the joy of waiting!
The Advent wreath is a symbol of growth and of life.
The candles remind us of Jesus - the light of the world and a guide for us to follow.
Wake up! The time is now!
The third week of Advent invites us to celebrate the JOY of being a follower of Jesus.
Advent Prayer
God in Heaven,
Thank you for giving us your Son, Jesus.
Thank you for Your Spirit who brings hope, peace, joy and love.
As we prepare for the coming of Jesus at Christmas,
Help us to focus on giving to others,not keeping everything for ourselves.
May we always keep our focus on Jesus.
Thank you, God!
Amen!
