Our scriptures for this second Sunday of Advent remind us that we can also prepare the way of the Lord like John the Baptist. We can seek repentance for the opportunities we have missed to share the Good News and know that with his love God will refine and work within us to help us take part in the great story of salvation. Come to worship, thanking Jesus for a purpose and joy far greater than our own imaginations or expectations.
Hide yourself in God, so when someone wants to find you they will have to go there first.
As we start our new summer series in the book of Daniel, we are reminded of all the challenges of going into new places, especially the peer pressure to fit in and follow the culture there. Come to worship to be strengthened in faith so we can step out to follow God no matter where we are sent.
In our Gospel reading, Jesus reminds us that we need to welcome our fellow disciples and share with others. Any welcome given is as if we are welcoming our Lord. Come to worship to share God's love and care for others in the world.
We are a Lutheran community dedicated to being God's hands in the world.
