Each week of Advent we will have a focus:  This week’s focus is “God our Maker”.  Reading: Isaiah 65.17-19

“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth.  The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.  18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. 19 I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and crying will be heard in it no more.”

God our Maker is creating a people for Himself and in Jesus’ return will create the new heavens and new earth for His people to dwell with Him forever.  Come Lord Jesus, come! 

Memory Verse:  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. John 1.1-3
