Each Advent and Lent, a group of students, faculty and staff gather to pray and reflect on the Sunday readings of the season. We do this so that we can discover a common thread in all the Sunday celebrations rather than celebrating each Sunday in isolation. In this way we view the readings as a whole fabric, extracting a focus statement which ties them all together.
For several weeks this fall, a group of us considered the readings of the four Sundays of Advent and extracted the statement which appears on banners hanging outside on our campus Chapel, above the main lobby entrance and facing route 15. We have also printed the focus statement on a card which is available
here.
This year our focus statement is Rejoice and Take Comfort, for God is the Potter and we are the Clay. I hope you will join us in this prayer as we prepare for the coming of the Lord on Christmas Day.
God bless you during this special time of year!
