Greetings …

Last Sunday our Advent theme was Hope … a hope that, even while we remember Jesus coming as a baby at Bethlehem, Jesus Christ will also come again. 

This week our theme is Peace … the cradle of peace in Bethlehem so long ago and the peace that comes to us when we know we are held in God’s care.  As Paul reminds the Philippians (4:7) the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

As we continue to reflect on Jesus the One who is Immanuel, God with us, may our hearts and minds be guarded by the God’s peace.

The next week of the Names of Jesus Advent Calendar is below.  Enjoy reflecting.
