This Sunday, November 29th marks the beginning of Advent and we begin with HOPE. Join us for our online worship service found here.
Below in an excerpt taken from a blog post written by Nora Saunders, General Secretary of the United Church of Canada.
“It’s Advent, a time of preparation. With the lives we lead, juggling various responsibilities, are any of us ever just preparing for one thing?
Yet this is Advent. Advent requires — or offers — a particular focus even in the midst of all that is going on in our lives and in the world. We are preparing for the birth of a baby in Bethlehem. We are preparing for the birth of a baby in unlikely, humble, circumstances. We are preparing for a birth that offers transformation to the world.
Can we let ourselves believe in the miracle that is offered?
Can we let ourselves believe that the birth of one baby can change the world?
Can we choose to live as though our lives, and our actions, can help make the miracle continue?
Peace on Earth. Good will to all people and all creatures of the Earth.”
