The Third Sunday of Advent

We took Isaac to church for the first time on Sunday and he did awesome and just slept. The rest of the day was LONG and we didn't get to do our Advent Wreath. So, a little late, but we did it. The third candle, the Shepherd's Candle, is lit on the third Sunday of advent along with the first two; the Prophecy candle and the Bethlehem candle. We are reminded thatGod sent the angels to porclaim His arrival to common man and that He uses common people still today to spread the good news of Christ. This candle is pink, or rose and represents God's love and faithfulness.

Some verses to read- Isaiah 52:7 & Luke 2:8-12
Some hymns to sing- Angels We Have Heard on High & While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
