As we prepare and ready ourselves for Advent, "the Coming of Jesus Christ," we read and reflect on the biblical Christmas narratives of Jesus' arrival.
Read: Luke 1:26-38
Reflect: This week we invite you to consider and pay attention to God's presence in our everyday lives. Read the passage and consider how engaged the Angels are in this advent story. Note how much divine activity is taking place from blessings, promises, and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit. Imagine how you would feel if you were Mary. How can this story help us understand God's activity in our lives?
Practice: As an individual or household, read the text and then draw a picture of the scene. Make sure and draw a picture of Gabriel, an Angel. Remind yourself of God's presence over every moment.
MORNING WORD AND PRAYER
If you join us for our Morning Word and Prayer livestream during the week, please note that we will not have this prayer time beginning December 24. But be looking for us January 6 when we return for the new year!
