Advent Ponderings
Each week of Advent you will find below a scripture and reflection for your spiritual meditation during Advent. These refelctions are from the lectionary resource material "Seasons of the Spirit"
I hope they will spark spiritual growth, hope, and joy into your heart as you prepare for Christ to be born anew in our world and your heart. May peace prevail, joy abound, the lowly be lifted high and justice reign!
Enjoy,
Pastor Debbie Griffin
Week leading up to the second Sunday of Advent December 9
Luke 1:68–79
“You, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High…” (Luke 1:76).
Zechariah speaks these words to his newborn son, John the Baptizer. Perhaps we might hear them addressed to us as well. Whether we think of ourselves this way or not, we are all in fact prophets. God calls us – and expects us – to proclaim in word and deed the Realm of God present in our world. As John is told to guide the people “on the path of peace,” take a moment to ponder how you can help do that.
I'm happy every time I see children that worshiping God. Very overwhelming joy. To God be all the glory and praises!

ReplyDeleteI have always love advent celebrations. They help me remember the reason for the season. I think it's great your church is encouraging it's members to do it. Keep up the good work, I'm sure you're doing great things for the community! God bless. http://chcus.org/mission-statement/
