How Does A Weary World Rejoice? || We Find Joy in Connection || The Second Sunday of Advent
Sunday, December 8, 2024 || 11:00am
Rev. Dr. Donna Claycomb Sokol || Pastor
In community, our joy expands. While we may not always be able to rejoice, we can always seek to carry each other's joy which is what Elizabeth and Mary do for each other in Luke's Gospel. Elizabeth has finally received the news that she is pregnant. But rather than rejoicing, she remains in seclusion for five months. She is all alone until Mary, who is also carrying an unexpected child, arrives at her home. When Mary arrives, the child leaps in her womb and she is filled with the Spirit. Joy fills her entire body.
What if the same can happen to us whenever we are reminded of our shared experiences in a way that reveals how we are never alone?
What if joy always grows through connection?
Join us as the Advent season continues with "We Find Joy in Connection" as a response to the question, "How does a weary world rejoice?"
