Second Sunday in Advent

Second Sunday of Advent  (from the Losungen)


Watchword for the Week -- Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near. Matthew 3:2

Isaiah 11:1-10; Psalm 72
Romans 15:4-13; Matthew 3:1-12

When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but the prudent are restrained in speech. Proverbs 10:19

Let your word be "Yes, Yes" or "No, No;" anything more than this comes from the evil one. Matthew 5:37

As we come closer to Christmas, we pray in Advent expectation and humble ourselves before you, O Lord. Restrain our speech so we might listen and learn and prepare for the kingdom this season. Amen.
