The second Sunday of Advent invites us into a deeper quietness.
After the first candle is lit — carrying its soft message of hope — the journey gently moves toward the theme of peace.
Not the kind of peace that depends on everything being perfect, but the gentler kind that grows slowly when we pause, breathe, and allow stillness to find us for a moment.
You are warmly welcome to join us at Ardross ARK on 7th December for our 2nd Advent Sunday.
Our lovely volunteer Sheena will be there to welcome you, look after the space, and hold the gentle atmosphere of the afternoon.
The fire will be lit, the doors open, and the old church will offer its familiar sense of calm for anyone who would like to step inside and enjoy a slower moment.
Hot chocolate and mince pies will be available for anyone who would like a little treat while they’re here.
🕯️ The Second Advent Candle — A Moment of Peace
The second candle symbolises peace —
a reminder that even in the busiest season, we can create small pockets of calm for ourselves.
Peace often arrives quietly:
when we slow our breathing,
when we pause,
when we allow ourselves simply to be.
You’re welcome to light a candle during your visit — as a reflection, a hope, or simply a gentle pause in your day.
🌿 A Thought to Carry Into December
As December gathers momentum around us, the second Advent candle invites us to make a simple choice:
Where can I welcome a little more peace into my week?
Even five quiet minutes can soften the whole rhythm of the days ahead.
