ANNOUNCEMENTS Will Guido

ADVENT WREATH Small Group

Reader: Luke 2:14 proclaims, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on

earth peace among those who he favors!” During Advent it is crucial to

remember that Christ came to be a light to the world and, in doing so,

brings a peace to our lives that only Christ can accomplish.

Reader: We light the candle of Peace. Light a purple candle

Reader: Let us pray together.

Heavenly Father, you alone are the author of true peace. We praise you

for humbling yourself, for taking on the form of a servant, and for

choosing to live with us and be with us. Help us to experience your

peace this season, and to embrace the light you so brightly shine so

that we might pass on that light to others; in Jesus’s name Amen.

Sing verse 1 of Hymn No. 211

O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom capve Israel,

that mourns in lonely exile here unl the Son of God appear. Rejoice!

Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
