Why not write your own - maybe about hope, peace, joy, love...
perhaps about your faith or your family and our Parkway UCC?
Advent comes again
time for watching and waiting
fill your days with hope
God is with us now
even in the darkest times
joy is our response
peace seems so fragile
in the midst of our fighting
but shalom endures
trusting God - we wait
knowing that love will find us
indeed, it is here!
God's gift at Christmas
Emmanuel - God with us
now and forever

Holy One, from dawn to dusk, from light to dark and back around again, speak to us in ways we can understand and share with others. Amen.
