This Advent (with special thanks to Joanna and Pastor Diane) folks in our MCPC family have shared their reflections on scriptures from Advent and Christmas. We offer it here for you prayerful preparation in these seasons.

About these reflections, Pastor Diane writes,

“While the Journal notes the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays in Advent according to the dates in the journal, you will be further ahead in the readings. We laid the passages out in such a way that you will be reading passages for Christmas Eve and Day for the last couple weeks – that way we will all be very familiar with all the appointed passages for Christmas even as we are preparing for the arrival.

I am very grateful to everyone who wrote something for this special collection – you are all very wise and wonderful!  Diane”
