Sunday Service
Topic: "When Peace Steps Forward: Lessons from the 1914 Christmas Truce”
Speaker: Rev. Denese Schellink
Music: Josh Rawlings

This Sunday we revisit the extraordinary moment when soldiers in World War I laid down their weapons and stepped into peace—if only for a night. Their humanity pierced the darkness of conflict and reminded the world that peace is always possible when we choose to see one another as brothers and sisters. Through this dramatic reenactment and spiritual reflection, we discover that peace begins in the heart, is strengthened in community, and becomes a living presence whenever we choose love over fear.
Affirmation:
“The peace of God lives in me, moves through me, and blesses the world.”
Music by Josh Rawlings will add beauty and inspiration to this special service.

Sunday Service
Topic: Joy That Finds Us: Living from the Radiant Heart
Speaker: Rev. Denese Schellink
Music: Josh Rawlings

Joy is not the result of circumstances—it is the radiance of the soul awakened to the presence of Spirit. On this final Sunday of Advent, we explore joy as a spiritual practice: a choice to open our hearts, to notice beauty, and to trust that the light is always rising. As we welcome the Christ light, we remember that joy meets us in the ordinary, the unexpected, and the deeply sacred moments of our lives.
Affirmation:
“Joy flows freely through me; I am a radiant expression of Spirit.”
Music by Josh Rawlings will add beauty and inspiration to this special service.
