Advent worship this year will be led by voices and ringers of all ages, teachers and readers, proclaimers and leaders of prayer, all reminding us that hope, peace, joy and love are with us even now as we await the birth of the Christ Child. These are gifts given by God to those who earnestly seek the light of Christ throughout the church year, but I’m always grateful for our intentional reflection on them during Advent.
