This is the second week of Advent in the Church Calendar.
Our general order comes from the Book of Common Prayer (1979) Daily Office and Scripture readings from the Revised Common Lectionary. We’ll sing a song I wrote, “Making Room (Let Every Heart)”, throughout today’s time of prayer. We’ll read Luke 1:68-79 followed by the Gloria Patri. Our Gospel reading is Luke 3:1-6 . We’ll say the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Collect of the Day. We’ll then have a time of prompted prayer.

Ben – your song “Making Room” was so lovely. Have you recorded it professionally? I hope so.
As for your photograph – is that a picture of your son Harper? The pose is most precious.
Thanks for all of your efforts, large and small, in putting your podcasts together.
