Second Sunday of Advent

We lit the second candle for Advent.  During the second week in Advent, we spend time thinking about Peace.   

In John 14:27, Jesus said: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Don not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”  Prince of Peace, reveal yourself to us today.  We need peace in our lives, our homes, our families, our church, and our whole world.  Help us to slow down and seek out the peace you provide, so we may become peacemakers for ourselves and others.  In your name, Prince of Peace, we pray.  Amen
