And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

(Luke 2:13-14 ESV)

We see it in beautifully scripted fonts on the front of Christmas cards. We sing about it in carols. We hear it recited in pageants. Yet in a season of rushing through activities and conflicts within family, peace seems to be the last thing we feel. Where is the peace the angels sang about? How do we get it? Is it what we think it is?

This week, as we continue to celebrate the Advent season, we will look at Peace. Peace is a regular theme in scripture. God is even named the God of Peace. So how do we participate in this peace? Come worship with us and find out. Why not invite someone to join you? The building has been beautifully decorated and I can't wait for the church to gather to celebrate Advent. See you Sunday!
