Sunday Words of Encouragement December 18, 2011

Today is the fourth Sunday in Advent.  We shared our Choir Program and I may share some of those songs this week.
Our service reflected the fourth Candle as the Candle of Peace.

A prayer for this week's Advent observation:
We light this candle as a symbol of the Prince of Peace.
May the visitation of your Holy Spirit, O God,
make us ready for the coming of Jesus, our hope and joy.

Verses for today: 

Isaiah 9:6-7a New International Version (NIV) 

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. 

This morning we prayed for peace to reign in out hearts as we prepare to welcome our Savior.
