Advent Midweek # 2 December 11, 2024

Focus for our Midweek Gatherings ---
Spiritual Lessons From A ‘Tree’
A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, welcome home. We especially welcome to our house of 
worship our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news 
about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.
We say with the Psalmist, whether here on campus or viewing online, “I rejoiced with those who said to me, 
‘Let us go to the house of the LORD’” (Psalm 122:1).
May the Lord continue to help us grow in His grace and knowledge as we hear, speak, and sing His 
holy Word.

Worship Focus: Trees – so many benefits for our health, in addition to adding beautification to our 
life. Trees come in a wide variety, and they serve different purposes though all fall under the category 
of ‘trees.’ Trees are a gift from the Creator. How fitting that God uses the tree to provide spiritual 
lessons. During this Advent Season we will focus on some of these lessons by examining the tree of 
Life – Prosperity – Promise. Joy and Peace are in the air … thanks to those ‘trees.’
