2nd
Sunday in Advent
Sunday,
December 8
8:30
& 11:00 AM
"Christmas
for Everyone: Inclusion"
Scripture:
Isaiah
11:1-10
The
theme for this Advent is "Christmas for Everyone", taken
from the hymn "Star Child." Each week we look at the
scripture and ask: "What is for everyone? What is it
that God brings, or offers, to everyone?" This
Sunday's scripture contains these well-known images: "The
wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the
kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together...the cow and
the bear shall graze..." How can such conflicted beasts be
brought together? And where do we see ourselves in this picture: as
lambs? As wolves? Or...?

explore how a personal relationship with Jesus Christ enables us to
live fuller lives while challenging us to care for people on the edges
of society.
