Preparing for next week’s gospel: Second Sunday of Advent YEAR B
Mark 1:1-8 Make his paths straight.
Questions for reflection (framed for a group discussion)
The message today is one of preparation: hills to be levelled, valleys filled and roads to be made straight. I suppose we might see it as “decluttering our lives” so that we can focus on the coming birth of someone who will change the world forever after.
1. Tell about a time when someone helped you to see the need to change something in your life. (Share in your group)
2. We have been asked to think about this question “What gives you hope this Christmas?” Find time to reflect on this, maybe write something down – maybe even send in a short 20 second video clip of your thoughts and feelings to southedclust@btinternet.com to give others hope who might be struggling at this time. Put "Hope" in the subject line.
3. Join others in the cluster on Mondays at 7pm for Advent Session 2 where we share our hopes and dreams with each other.
