Bible Text: Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 32:17, John 14:27 | Preacher: Annette Williams | Series: Advent 2019 | May the peace of Christ be with you, and with you also. Passing the peace, the shalom of God is an ancient tradition that traces its origins back to Christ himself and the Apostle Paul. At this time of year, with hustle and bustle of Christmas, peace is something that is in short supply. It shouldn’t be that way.
