This week I share with you an Advent acrostic:
A stands for Adoration. We pause to praise God who fulfilled the promise of the gift of the Son to the bring God’s kingdom.
D stands for Devotion. We reflect this Advent on Jesus’ coming to Bethlehem, through Word and Communion and the culmination of all time.
V stands for Value. We take time to reflect on our human condition as we await the gift of Christ’s presence and come to value his place in our lives.
E stands for Emmanuel. We remember that the angel called the baby Jesus “Emmanuel,” which means “God with us.” What a wonderful promise as we journey through life!
N stands for News. We joyfully celebrate the good news that Jesus’ coming is God’s great gift to us and want to share that news.
T stands for Thanksgiving. We choose to not only listen to Jesus’ message to actually follow in his footsteps in service to our community and world.
This week: Take time and create your own Advent acrostic.

Week One: The Song of Zechariah We join with Zechariah in singing a melody of peace as we prepare the way of the Lord.. Let the words, Scripture, hymns, litanies and prayers of this worship experience serve as music to your soul as you hearken to the glad sound of Jesus’ birth.
