ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
December 23, 2024
Prayer for the Week:
There is hope within us, a peace that is changing us, a joy that is bringing life to us, and a love that is liberating us. O Gracious God, we have learned a great deal in this Advent Season, but most importantly, we have intentionally prepared ourselves by making space for your presence to dwell more deeply. We are different because Christmas is more than just a date on the calendar; it is a story that aims to shape us into a more perfect reflection of your likeness. The birth of a child reverses long-held expectations and subverts old systems of power and privilege. Once again, you are doing a new thing, and because of our intentional practices over the past four weeks, we’re more likely to observe your actions and join in on your marvelous work. Amen.
