Hello Maggie,
This week in Advent we focus on the prophets: ordinary humans who hear the divine love song and share it with other people to help them hush their noise.
Bible study
This week, Luke 3:1-6 tell the story of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Jesus by travelling around sharing the word of God with everyone he met.
The good news is God has always shown the way to people; listen to their wisdom for how to hush the noise. And share your wisdom!
Questions to ponder
- When have you been told something difficult about yourself by someone you trust, something that you knew was true but didn’t want to admit?
- Who has been a prophet in your life, pointing the way towards Jesus?
- What’s your song? What do you contribute to the songs of the prophets?
Craft activity
This week, Kim shows us how to make fabulous paper craft lightbulbs. We’d love to see the ones that you make, so please take a photo and share it on social media, tagging the Methodist Church so we can see your creations.
A prayer of blessing
The angels are still singing.
Prophets are still speaking.
Hush the noise, hear them sing, repeat the song.
And the blessing of God,
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
be yours/ours, now and always. Amen.
