In Norway and other Scandinavian countries, it is a tradition to light a candle in the evening each of the Sundays of Advent. The Advent candleholder (typically red) is called an adventsstake and has four candles, one for each Sunday of Advent. Each candle represents how Jesus brought light to the world.
Lighting candles not only brighten a room on a dark Scandinavian winter night, but it also creates a more prayerful atmosphere. Even if you don’t have an adventsstake or Advent wreath, you may want to light one or more candles for this evening’s service.
In this evening’s message we take a look at how we may become an obstacle to others hearing the good news and what we can do about it.
Reading: Luke 23:1-36
Message: The Face in the Mirror

If you are new to Thursday Evenings at All Hallows, you may find these directions helpful:
-It is recommended that after reading or hearing a lesson to take time to reflect on what you read or heard during the period of silence which follows the lesson. It is also recommended that you do the same thing after reading or hearing the message.
-When you open the link to a video in a new tab, check auto-play to make sure it is in the off position. Otherwise, a second video with a different song will follow the first.
-If an ad plays when you open a link to a video in a new tab, click the refresh icon of your browser until the song appears.
-If a song begins partway through the video, click pause, move the slider to the beginning, and then click play.
-An ad may follow a song so as soon as the song is finished, close the tab.
May Thursday Evenings at All Hallows be a blessing to you.
