Scripture Reading: Matthew 1:20-21

20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a] because he will save his people from their sins.”

Pray and prepare for the Advent Season: Third Sunday of Advent, December 18th, 2022, symbolizing Love. Advent is a time to restructure the proverbial treadmill and reflect on what Christmas really means in the life of believers.

Dear Lord, grant us your peace so that we can be peacemakers and allow your light to shine through us.  Let your peace illuminate our families, school, workplaces, in our nation and among the nations of the earth. Let our leaders choose peace instead of war. Enable the countries at war to find peaceful ways to communicate with each other. Let our leaders across this country discern and embrace meaningful dialogues that promote peace in all areas. Bless your church, O Lord we pray and let your peace be shared among us.
