Bible for Sunday, December 3

First Sunday of Advent: December 3, 2006

Welcome, friends, to the readings for the first Sunday of the new church year, and the first Sunday of the Advent season. It’s a time of preparation, as the Scriptures take us into the echoes of Jesus’ first coming that sound through time into his return. What a day that will be!

Here are the gospel and epistle readings that I’ll be working from this Sunday. What do you see?
