Second Sunday of Advent
Sunday, December 8, 2024
The second candle on the Advent wreath represents Peace, a reminder of the stillness and harmony brought to the world through Christ’s birth. It is purple, reflecting the royalty of our King and the deep peace He brings to all who trust in Him. Often referred to as the "Angel’s Candle," this light calls us to reflect on the angelic proclamation of "peace on earth and goodwill toward men" and the perfect peace that Jesus offers to our hearts and lives.
This Advent season, we invite you to join us in walking together as a community of believers united in Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Together, we cast away the works of darkness and put on the armor of light, anticipating the glorious return of our Lord and Savior. May God bless you abundantly this season and fill you with joy and encouragement.
