Dear Siblings in Christ, Scottophiles, Celtophiles, Chapel Friends, and Friends in Christ:

Something new this year to “pre-prepare” us for Advent. Our advent gatherings will begin on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 6 pm via Zoom. Let me know if you’d like to join via Zoom and I’ll send you the link.

In the meantime enjoy this devotional and join the conversation on Dec. 1.

Celtic Advent Begins today November 15, 2022

Begin your early Advent by lighting a candle and spending a few minutes praying and breathing in the following Celtic prayer. Make this a spiritual practice from now, till the beginning of the first Sunday of today’s traditional Advent cycle, which begins Nov. 27 this year.

God, kindle thou in my heart within
A flame of love to my neighbor,
To my foe, to my friend, to my kindred all,
To the brave, to the knave, to the thrall,
O son of the loveliest Mary,
From the lowliest thing that liveth,
To the name that is highest of all.

Pastor Linda
