Christmas Eve Service
Lighting the Candle of Love ~ Week four of Advent
In Matthew 22:36-40 Jesus is asked,
"Teacher, which command in God's law is the most important?" Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your passion, prayer, and intelligence." This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: "Love others as well as you love yourself." These two commands are pegs; everything in God's Law and the Prophets hangs from them."
During the third week in Advent, we spend time thinking about joy.
Let us pray: Too often, we think joy is something big, O God. A brass band or a parade can certainly bring us joy. Just as easily and far more often, we can feel joy in a hug or the squeeze of hand, we can see joy in a smile or hear it in laughter. Help us to not overlook the simple joys that peak into our lives daily. This week in our Advent journey, open our eyes to the joy that surrounds us. Amen

Senior Sunday
To you graduates, you are embarking on a new journey, filled with possibilities and uncertainties. Embrace your role as clay jars, carry the precious light of Christ within you. Let this light shine through your words, and actions, let that light shine even through your struggles because you are called to illuminate the world around you. Also, recognize that your imperfections do not diminish your worth; let me say that again for everyone not just the graduates. Your imperfections do not diminish your worth rather, they highlight the profound truth that God’s
power is made perfect in weakness. Remember, the same power that raised Christ from the dead dwells within you, equipping you to make
meaningful and lasting impacts on the world. Move forward with confidence, knowing that the treasure you carry is a beacon of hope and
transformation.—therefore live boldly and faithfully, live as vessels of God’s
extraordinary power in the world. Remember, even in your afflictions, perplexities, and challenges, you will not be crushed, driven to despair, forsaken, or destroyed. No…instead, the life of Jesus will be made visible in you, shining bright…As graduates, you stand at the threshold of a new chapter, a time of transition and opportunity.
Move forward confidently, knowing that you are instruments of change in God's hands.
Shine in the darkness with the light of Christ within you.
Proclaim His glory through your words and actions.
Trust that your efforts are part of a bigger picture, contributing to the betterment of the world and
the fulfillment of God's eternal plan.
Children of God, you are the light in this
world, carrying the extraordinary power of God within you. Go shine brightly
and embrace your role as world-changers, now and forever more.
Amen
and Amen
