Advent 2023    Hope – Peace – Joy – Love

Posted on: November 21st, 2023 by Breslau Mennonite Church

 

Advent marks the beginning of the church year for most churches in the Christian tradition. It begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day. This year, the fourth Sunday of Advent is also Christmas Eve.

Advent is a time to lean into the ways that our faith invites us to watch and wait, as we seek to discern the times, to trust that even when we have questions, God is with us; still then, God is working. Advent is a time when we wonder and wander and wait together, searching for clues of the work that God is doing in our midst.

In this season of short days and long nights, O God,
teach us the lessons of beginnings;
that waiting and wondering may be the starting place —
something right and just and different,
a new song, a deeper relationship, a fuller love.
God of all seasons grant us a sense of your timing this Advent. Amen.

Join in worship Oct 15 – Nov 19 with a focus on peace.
Peace With God
Peace Within
Peace When There Is No Peace

Peace With Creation

God of peace, you are Creator and Creating no only of humankind, but of all that graces this planet and this universe. We fail our sisters and brothers around the world when our actions cause harm to our world. We humbly open our hearts, minds, and lives to what we can do to be your instruments of peace. Thank you for the assurance that you are with us in this journey. Renew our spirits, as we work to renew our common home. Amen.
