This Sunday Evening's Advent Wreath Reading!
Fourth Week of Advent: Peace – December 23, 2018
Gather together with no distractions to light the candles o the Advent wreath and share this time of spiritual fellowship.
First Reader: Today is the fourth Sunday in Advent. We light four candles for hope, love, joy, and peace. God helps us to wait for the arrival of Jesus, our Lord. He brings lasting peace to people everywhere.
Second Reader: Let’s listen closely to God’s word for us in our Bible passage.
Micah, chapter 5, verses 2 through 5a, says, “But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has brought forth; then the rest of his kindred shall return to the people of Israel. And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; and he shall be the one of peace.”
Conversation: Take turns talking about the Bible passage. What stood out for you in this passage? Why did it draw your attention? What does it mean for your life today?
Pray aloud together this Family Litany.
One: Gracious God, long ago you made the shepherd David of Bethlehem a king of Israel.
All: Thank you for raising people from small towns and big cities to follow you in faith.
One: You promised that a Son of David will be the peaceful king whose reign lasts forever.
All: At the right time, you fulfilled your promise in Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
One: Jesus is the good shepherd who peacefully feeds his flock and helps us to live in safety.
All: Help us to show by our calm words and peaceful actions that we belong to you.

Children's Church at 8:30a.m. and 11 a.m.- Last Sunday in Children's Church, we lit the candle of Joy and explored the Joy in the story of Mary and Elizabeth through drama and creating Joy to the World Ornaments.
