Advent 2014
I BELIEVE EVEN WHEN…
The story of the birth of Jesus is filled with common themes of human drama: unknowing, doubt, fear, journey, hardship. The words of the song, “I believe in the sun, even when it’s not shining…”, offer the affirmation of belief in spite of what seems like the absence of light, love, and even the absence of God. We will explore the presence of hope through Christ “even when”
4th Sunday of Advent: December 21
John 1:1-5, 14-18 announces, and our theme song proclaims, that even when the sun is hidden from sight, even when love feels remote, and even when we’re not sure of God’s presence we can sense that
the light is coming,
love is near and
the holy is born yet again
in the midst of the struggles of life.
There is hope. There is light.
For Contemplation:
I can be assured that new birth is possible. There is light!
