December Theme: Reflect & Celebrate

Advent Week 2 • PEACE • “How Are You?”

Soft winter branches lit by warm light, symbolizing Advent peace and quiet reflection.

Where Is Peace Showing Up for You?

As we enter Advent Week 2, Holy Covenant turns toward the gentle, grounding presence of PEACE — not the peace of perfection or silence, but the peace that shows up in real lives, real relationships, and real moments of grace.

This month of Reflect & Celebrate asks again the question at the heart of our December journey:
How are you… really?

Scripture reminds us that peace is both gift and calling:

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” (Colossians 3:15)

This week, our Consistory leaders share how peace is showing up for them — in small practices, quiet moments, and intentional choices.


A Consistory Check-In from Dawn Robinson

Advent Week 2 • PEACE • “Where Is Peace Showing Up for You?”

This week we asked, “As leaders, where is peace showing up for you?

Here is Dawn’s Response:

~Through active listening with an open mind;
~By honoring the unique gifts given to those with whom I interact;
~By appreciating God’s creations through being still, listening, and admiring nature around me.

— Dawn Robinson, Consistory Vice President

We ask you the same question — where is peace meeting you this week?”

A Question for Your Advent Heart

As you move through Advent Week 2, take a moment to pause:
Where is peace showing up for you?

In a breath?
In a conversation?
In a choice to listen, forgive, or rest?
Peace often arrives quietly — but it arrives.

Throughout December, we’ll continue lifting up our Pastor, our Consistory leaders, and the ministries that guide us as we

Reflect & Celebrate the gifts of hope, peace, joy, and love.
