Prayers of the People for:
Advent
-- The
season of the church year leading up to Christmas. In this season we
wait and watch for Jesus' birth, and we inwardly prepare for the coming
of Christ as we make room for Jesus in the world and in our lives.
Christmas--December
25 and the eleven days following. We celebrate Jesus' presence with
us.
Epiphany
--
(January 6) and the season of Epiphany lasting till Lent. In Epiphany
we celebrate the appearance of the child Jesus to the magi when they followed
the star. In this season we also remember the baptism of Jesus by John
the Baptist. It is a meaningful time of light breaking forth, of recognizing
God's grace upon us. We recall we are not alone. We give thanks that we
have been blessed with the appearance of Christ among us and that has
changed our lives; and so we understand we are to show forth Christ to
the world.
