Second Sunday of Advent, Year B (December 10, 2023) – Our Spirit Waits: Our Just Peace

Fellowship – Snacks or a Meal (10 minutes with snacks; longer, obviously, if there is a meal).

Gathering Time (5-10 minutes). Play the aria “Comfort Ye My People” (or from YouTube, Jerry Hadley – Comfort ye my people -Messiah – Handel – YouTube). In pairs or groups of three, have participants describe in a few sentences the image of the “way of the LORD” in the desert land of the Israelites. What would that look like in your own community?

Group Dialogue (Approximately 30 minutes). Read Isaiah 64:1-9 and Mark 13:24-37.
