HOPE

Yesterday marked the first Sunday of Advent for 2024. As I have done in the past, I will share with you what we do each Sunday of Advent at our church service. 

I encourage you to create your own advent wreath/candles and enjoy the anticipation of the celebration of the birth of Christ. 

I will also include a link to our Sunday Service if you would like to hear the songs for each Sunday.

As I have done every year, I share with you what we do for church advent each Sunday.   Last year I did something different that I had been inspired to do.  This year I am back to the traditional, more simple advent.   I encourage you to find your own advent candles and/or wreath.

        

HOPE

                       LIGHT THE FIRST PURPLE CANDLE

📖  But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.  She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”  All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).  Matthew 1:20-23 

📖 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.     Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)

 📖 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,  And whose hope is the Lord.         Jeremiah 17:7-8
