“What Are We Waiting For?” is the focus question of worship this Sunday, December 20. We will be taking a fresh look at some of the expected…and unexpected stories of the Advent season. Please join us!
“The remarkable thing about the Christmas story is the change it represents in human thought.”
It is a story, not about the god of jealousy and anger, but a god “who needs a humble young woman and the long months of patient waiting and the human process of birth to bring divinity into the world. Imagine…that after years of hearing story after story of men and women bowing abjectly before the might of kings and emperors, tsar, dictators, chieftains and tyrants, you hear a story in which three kings kneel before a tiny child – in praise of possibility.” ~ Barbara Rhode
