Welcome to Day 3 of your Advent journey.

Happy first Sunday of Advent, where we light the first purple candle on our Advent wreath, focusing on the HOPE that this Advent season brings.

We start with a short meditation to clear our mind and bring us in the presence of God.

We continue with a short prayer and reading of scripture, Luke 3: 21-22, the baptism of Jesus.

We ask you to reflect HOPE, and ways we can rely on Hope to trust in God that everything will work out according to His will.

If you have time, dedicate a few minutes to read the entire Chapter 3 of the Book of Luke today.

By dedicating a chapter each day, you'll find that by Christmas day, you'll have traversed the entire gospel according to Luke, accompanying Jesus on the remarkable journey of his life.
