God of light & life, give us hope as we wait for your coming again. When we are tempted to be grateful to have found you while others are lost, send us out into the darkness in search of those who need you most. Amen The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of the moment Frederick Buechner This season and always may I stand in awe & wonder of the Messiah who came to save the world. The good news of great joy changed the course of every silent night to come Alicia Bruxvoort Reframe Advent from a season of activity to a season of adoration & anticipation Advent is the language of Heaven… hope, love, joy, and peace. And Jesus’ life spoke this language. Karina Allen
