Sunday, Dec 3, 2023 - “Living in between the first and last coming of Christ”

Rev. Laurie McKay (Preaching for the Call)

As we begin the new church year by lighting the candle of hope, we are aware that the light of Christ is still among us in these "in between" times.  How do we see God moments that fuel our hope?  The community of grace teaches us how to "keep watch" for the inbreaking of Christ's presence.

I am so glad you asked this question!  Congregations don’t go through it very often, so it can be hard to imagine it. I will lay it out for you in the form of a schedule. Do mark your calendars!

Sometimes life feels like a puzzle.  Sometimes it feels like a maze.

Sometimes life feels like a puzzle.  Sometimes it feels like a maze.

It has twists and turns, and sometimes you can’t seem to find the right path.  You find yourself going the wrong way, and have to turn around and choose a different path.
Come and hear our intergenerational choir as we share songs and stories about ‘Finding our way to Jesus’.  That, after all, is the true journey and destination of Christmas.  Come join us Sunday, December 10th!
~ Debby Dorcas
