I Believe Even When || I Believe in Love: Daring Right Relationship
Sunday, December 6, 2020
Rev. Dr. Donna Claycomb Sokol || Pastor
“Look! A virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will call him, Emmanuel (‘God with us').” --Matthew 1:23 and Isaiah 7:14 In both the Gospel of Matthew and book of Isaiah, a messenger appears as a sign from God, heralding a new era. In each passage, the words, “do not be afraid” appear, offering a clue that the messenger-–whether prophet or angel-–was referencing something that induced fear in the recipient. Join us for the second Sunday of Advent as we ponder together how a new way of being, of relating and loving, takes courage–-eschewing the present order of things so that a better day can be born. We will again be invited to light our Advent candles or other candles together as worship begins.
