December 08, 2025The Peace of Advent - Monday Evening
The Peace of Advent
Monday Evening, December 8, 2025
Jesus is sometimes called the Prince of Peace. It means he uses all his power to help create peace - to make good things happen and help fix what's broken.
Discussion Question(s)
• Is there something happening right now where you think, 'this situation could really use some peace - some good things to happen'?
Prayer
Dear, God. We thank you for this day and for all of your blessings. We thank you for the ways we were able to help bring some peace by making good things happen today. As we rest tonight, help us remember that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is watching over all the things we're worried about. Help us to get a good night’s sleep tonight so that we can wake up tomorrow rested and refreshed and ready to be peace-bringers again. Amen.

Choosing Rest
Friday Evening, December 5, 2025
It is important to take time to reflect on our week. It reminds us what we did, what was important to us, and how God was with us through it all.
Discussion Question(s)
What was one of your favorite things that happened this week, and why was it meaningful to you?
What was something about this week that wasn’t so fun, and how did it make you feel?
As we shared our gratitude, intentions, and prayers together this week, was there anything you or someone else in your family said that really meant something to you? How did that make you feel?

Prayer
Dear God, we thank you for this day and for all of your blessings. I thank you for this first week of the podcast and all of the families that have joined us here in Grace Harbor on this exciting new journey of growing in our faith together. We pray that you would give us a good night’s sleep tonight and a restful weekend, so that we can come back together ready for a brand new week. Amen.

Thank You for Slow Days
Thursday Evening, December 4, 2025
We learn the importance of slow days, especially when we are tired and need to recover. Having a day with nothing on the calendar gives us space to rest and reflect on how God is present and active in our lives.
Discussion Question(s)
Tonight’s episode features a quiet reflection on our day.

Prayer
Thank you, God, for this day - whether it was a good one or a bad one, a jam-packed day or a slow day. Thank you that you love us and are with us no matter what. We ask that you would give us a good night’s sleep tonight so that we can wake up tomorrow rested and refreshed and ready to be more like the people you made us to be. Amen.

Christmas Tree Lighting
Wednesday Evening, December 3, 2025
Tonight’s episode comes to you from the Christmas Tree Lighting and block party at the Village Green! We learn that while it is important to thank God for all of the good things in our lives, we can take gratitude to the next level when we share our gratitude with others.

What is one thing from your day today that you are grateful for?

Prayer
Dear God, we thank you for this day and for all of your blessings. And we thank you that everyday has things we can say “thank you” for. Help us to turn on our hearts so that we can see and appreciate all the good things going on around us. We pray that you would give us a good night’s sleep so that we can wake up tomorrow rested and refreshed and ready to be more like the people you made us to be. Amen.
