Look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawings near.
(Luke 21:28)
“The Hanging of the Greens is a service for the first
Sunday in Advent. It is based on the English tradition of decorating the home
with wreaths, garlands, a Christmas tree, and evergreens for Advent and
Christmas. In a church setting, it readies the sanctuary (and church members)
for the season. This service assumes a Protestant setting. It is adapted from
an unknown source to reflect a process-relational theology. Suggested hymns may
be replaced by your favorites or appropriate anthems from a choir.”

Today's devotional starts with a reading from Mark 1:1-3
"Look, I am sending my messenger before you. He will prepare your way."
- Mark :2b.
The Reading starts, "Do you think there was anyone in Jesus' day who was as busy as we are today?"
The Reading ends, "Prayer: God, guide my thoughts and help me spend time in your Word. Help me listen with more than my ears. Prepare my heart to hear your melody of love, so that I can pass along the song of those who may need to hear it. Amen"
