The Practice of Peace | Christy Jo Harber

In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from Phillipians 1:3-11. As we light the candle of Peace, we explore how gratitude, community, and intentional connection become spiritual practices that steady us in a fragmented world. Drawing from Paul’s prayer in Philippians we are invited to cultivate peace not as a feeling we wait for, but as a daily practice– one we grow into through gratitude, companionship, and noticing the sacred beauty of the present moment.

This sermon was preached on December 7, 2025.
