THE THIRD SUNDAY OF
is for
JOY

(First, we lit two purple candles for Hope and Love. Then, the pink candle for Joy.)

“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. ” 

-Luke 2:10 KJV

---

The angel appeared to the shepherds, who were always taking care of their flocks.

Shepherds were seldom praising and worshipping God, they were looked down upon.

God gave the first message of His Son to the common shepherds – a message of JOY!

PRAYER:

Father, thank you for the message of Joy.

Help us to share it with others through song and word.

Amen
