The second Sunday of Advent we light the second purple candle which represents love. (We will have both the first & second Advent candles lit today.) We are reminded how the way was prepared for His coming.

Scripture reading: Mark 1:1-8

The second candle is lit to remind of the messenger sent to prepare us for the coming of Christ. God so loves us. We pray that our love will grow more deeply as we celebrate God's gift at Christmas.
