Taking a cue from the classic hymn, "Christ Be Our Light", our world today is troubled, in darkness. But we have hope as Christ's light shines in our hearts and illuminates our thoughts, words, and actions as we work for a more just and sustainable world.
Lord we pray, make us your living voice for all of Creation this Advent as we prepare for the joy of Christmas!
Wishing you a hopeful Advent and joyous Christmas season,
All of us on the Creation Care Commission
