“And you beneath life’s crushing load ... o rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing.” With this beautiful lyric from “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear” we come to the fourth week of Advent and reflect on love. Cornel West once said, ”Justice is what love looks like in public.” And this week we consider love, not just as a pretty word we toss around, but as an empowering compassion that stands against hate, that stands up to injustice, that stands with those who need it most.

So we invite you to find a quiet place, maybe light a candle and sit for a few moments with us as together, we pray and sing and reflect. Featuring the carol "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" arranged and sung by Hannah Rand, we are led this week by The Many’s Gary Rand.
