God of Life,
Today we seek a sacred space. Some will find such a place at church in the sanctuary, chapel, or in the classroom where life, faith, and love are shared. Others will find it in their home as they read, meditate, and pray. Wherever we are, O God, may we find that place where there is less distance between humanity and the Divine. The spirit moves among us and removes the barriers that we artificially set between us. As we honor You with our time and devotion, may Your love break through and may we see a glimpse of Your eternal reign. We offer this prayer in Jesus’ name. AMEN.

Today is the 4th Sunday of Advent. In spite of the weather, we will have regular services this morning. This evening our Chancel Choir and Mixed Company will present a Christmas musical program in the Sanctuary at 7:00 p.m. Plan to attend and bring a friend. Childcare will be provided. Today will be an amazing day.
Please continue to pray for the family of Lana Ellis’ brother, John David Stephens.
Please continue to pray for Byron Whetstone, son-in-law of the Coxes, who is recovering from major surgery.
Olive Traylor is now at the Commons. Please pray for Olive.
Also pray for Betty Koehn and Ann Murrow. They are patients at St. Mary’s.
Tuesday evening we will have two Christmas Eve services. One at 6:00 P.M. and one at 11:00 P.M. Bring your family and friends. Please note the change in time for the first service.
