This worship series for Advent and Christmas is from a group called “A Sanctified Art.” They provide scripture reflections and beautiful images for worship. Their guiding question this season has been, “How Does a Weary World Rejoice?” And from Luke’s gospel, they provided these prompts. How does a weary world rejoice?
- We acknowledge our weariness
- We find joy in human connection, in holy friendship
- We sing of peace on earth
- We sing over all God’s children songs of justice and joy
On Christmas Eve the prompt was:
- We make room for miracles, for hospitality, for joy.
For the presentation of Jesus in the Temple and the meeting with Simeon and Anna, the prompt for today is:
- We root ourselves in ritual.
We find joy when we root ourselves in ritual.
