Fourth Sunday in Advent - 12/22/24

Beloved Church. The final days of Advent are here. In these lingering dark days, the last Gospel story of the season opens to us with a cherished family gathering, of two women celebrating impossible new beginnings: Elizabeth and Mary. God has been faithful in ways they may have least expected, and Mary sings the way into God’s future for our world with a chorus that has permeated the lives of God’s people for generations. Come and be gathered into God’s coming reign as we prepare, one last time, for Messiah’s nearing birth.
