December 7, 2025, 10:30am: Peace is the Word: Hope Rising - The Light the Shines in the Darkness
Minister: Rev. Dr. Catherine Collins-Barker

In this season of Advent, we lean into the promise of peace—deep, world-changing peace that begins in the heart of God and reaches toward us through hope, comfort, and light. Isaiah speaks of a Branch emerging from the stump of Jesse, restoring creation with wisdom, justice, and harmony. His later words remind us of God’s tender voice declaring, “Comfort, comfort my people,” assuring us that even in our waiting, God is drawing near. Peter calls us to holy lives marked by readiness, urging us to prepare for the day when God’s peace reshapes all things. And in John’s Gospel, the eternal Word breaks into our world—light shining in the darkness, unquenchable, unbroken, and full of grace. Join us as we explore these powerful readings and discover how Advent invites us to live as people of peace—anchored, comforted, and awakened by the Word who has come among us. #glenwoodunitedchurch #unitedchurchofcanada #advent #peace #christianfaith #lightinthedarkness #hope #comfort #adventseason #preparetheway
