Yes! Let it Be!: Year B, Advent to Epiphany, 20

During this season of Advent, our worship resources remind us to identify with Mary as she received the Holy Spirit and prepared to mother Jesus. With Mary we will ponder and prepare for what it means to receive Jesus and to partner with the Holy Spirit, who will prepare our hearts and minds to join God’s good dream for the world God has entrusted to us.

Advent connects us with those who waited for the Messiah in the Hebrew scriptures, with all who celebrate the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem and in their hearts, and with all who wait for Christ’s second coming when all creation will be restored to God.

The prayers and activities in this booklet are adapted from the worship resources in the Fall 2017 Leader Magazine.

The Advent at Home series, originally produced by Mennonite Church Canada has been a well received Advent resource for many households since 2002-03. We are pleased that, beginning in the fall of 2016, this resource will continue to be developed by the Anabaptist Faith Formation Network and the Central Plains Conference of Mennonite Church USA.
