This is the fourth and final Sunday of Advent. The Sunday of Love.
Love is often thought of as a feeling, but scripture more often refers to it as an action. It is something you do. It is something you choose to do. Pastor Russ speaks to us from Isaiah 7:10-16 and Matthew 1:18-25 about how God showed God's love to us in giving us Jesus and how we can follow Jesus by sharing God's love with others.
Join us for just over 26 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, and communion. You may choose to participate or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.
