Advent Pocket Songs and Reflections
Sunday, Dec. 10, 2023, Second Sunday of Advent
Advent peace confronts both our own impatience and our desire for justice and an end to violence and war in the world. Peace be with you today and always.
Text: Micah 5:1-5a
Now you are walled around with a wall; siege is laid against us; with a rod they strike the ruler of Israel upon the cheek. But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has brought forth; then the rest of his kindred shall return to the people of Israel. And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; and he shall be the one of peace.

Reflection Question:
What do I need, to be the peace?
This series was inspired by my conversations and singing with friends at Music That Makes Community. In that practice of shared leadership, do you have a song, text and question to share into our Advent Pocket Songs and Reflections playlist for this year? Let me know and I will find a day for you to share. The song should be easy to carry in your heart or your pocket for the day. The text can be scripture, poem or other short text.
