November 9 | Twenty-Second Sunday after Pentecost

On Sunday, November 9, we begin a seven-week series called “Out of the Blue” – a time before and during the Advent season in reflective waiting for Christ’s coming into the fullness of life. This is a time for new beginnings. We gather for shared imagination around moments of surprise, occasions of awe, and instances of inspiration. We hope to discover together the astonishment of God’s work and God’s purposes among us. The bible stories in this series follow the regular lectionary (set of readings) that are offered in most Lutheran, Catholic, Episcopal, Presbyterian, and United Church of Christ congregations. On November 9 we gather in the theme “Beginning at Broken” – broken expectations, changed perspectives, and new life after smaller deaths and after bigger ones.
