Second Sunday in Advent
by Pastor Kathleen O'Connell

|
On Saturday, December 15 and Sunday, December 16 we are offering a
unique Advent worship experience. You are invited to A Walk to Bethlehem, a
self-guided prayer encounter. Participants will journey through a series of
worship stations and have an opportunity to reflect on and engage the
scriptures telling the story of Christ's birth. We need your help.
Volunteers are needed to act as greeters on Saturday, and we have posters to
display throughout the community. If you can help, there is a sign up sheet
on the back counter with the posters - please take on and post it at work,
the grocery story - wherever you can. Questions - please talk with Kathleen.
Print these cards out and give them to your friends... |

Isaiah
11:1-10
A shoot will come up from the stump of
Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the LORD
will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of
counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD
- and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what
he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with
righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions
for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his
mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. Righteousness
will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist. The wolf will
live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and
the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The
cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the
lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the
cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest. They will
neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be
full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. In that day
the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will
rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious.

God's
love and attention for us is without end, without bound, without limits.
Why should our personal worship encompass only 1 hour on Sunday?
God invites us to a 24/7 relationship. Here's your opportunity to
continue to explore the way God's word connects with this week's worship
theme. We invite you to spend some time each day discovering God's
word...

24/7 intro: As we begin our advent journey, spend some time each day
with God's word. This week, reflect on these words of hope from Paul's
letter to the church in Rome.
