Welcome to the Advent Sunday of Peace. I pray the service will be meaningful to you as we continue to worship virtually. Today we are celebrating communion as part of the service – so please grab some elements from your kitchen before you begin – you may not have red wine or grape juice on hand, but that’s fine. Any liquid will do. Same with the bread – crackers or cereal will do in a pinch. The point is not the elements themselves, but the One they represent. Take a moment to quiet your hearts, and let’s worship together:

And in case you are missing some of the extra music that makes this season special, here is Audrey Assad singing “I wonder as I wander”:

And Andrew Peterson’s version of “While shepherds watched,”:

Until tomorrow, dear friends, may you find Shalom in the presence of God.
