Love is Coming…
Love is the last theme in our advent season. Love coming to dwell among us. Love that surpasses all of our expectations. Love that called a young woman in a small town to be the mother of Love Incarnate. Love that caused that young woman to sing praise to God because God chose her.
And God chooses us – the ultimate expression and being of Love – in the midst of the confusion, the anger, the chaos, the transitions, and the unknown. Because Love knows and Love is with us every step of the way – we are beloved. It’s what Mary sings as she magnifies God’s name and sings to a world that is about to change.
God is good all the time. All the time, God is good.
Worship with us this Sunday at 8 AM and 10:15 AM!
We Welcome.
