Good morning,
“Deep peace of the quiet earth to you” is our prayer for the
third week of Advent 2023.
Here in Nashville and Middle Tennessee, we felt a stark reminder of how unpredictable and threatening the earth can be. Over the weekend tornadoes swept through smaller towns just North of Nashville taking six lives, sending almost two dozen people to the hospital, and leaving extensive property damage in its path.
Our prayers for deep peace can be offered for these families and people all over the planet facing loss, war, grief, loneliness, illness, heartbreak, and threats both natural and human generated.
This season we
are exploring a new prayer practice, rooted in ancient ones. Music and art come together to guide our Advent meditations and prayers.
