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.
Jesus promised the Holy Spirit, which has been described as something like wind and fire. Like the burning bush, we are filled with light but not burned. Like creation in Genesis, life is breathed into us by God. Come and celebrate Pentecost, the birthday of the Church and the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to his disciples.
Jesus gives a gift to his followers; he prays aloud for them. They can hear his love and concern. What an amazing moment and how humbling to have our Lord so focused on those who believe in him. Join us in worship to hear his words again and celebrate this beautiful, continuing prayer on our behalf.
We are a Lutheran community dedicated to being God's hands in the world.
