December 7 | Second Sunday of Advent

On November 9 we began 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. The bible stories in this series follow the regular lectionary (set of readings) that are offered in many Christian churches. On December 7, the Second Sunday in Advent, we gather in the theme “Wild New Life” where new growth refuses to be contained. At the heart of our Advent preparation stands John the Baptist, who calls us to repent and make a new beginning. As the darkness increases, we turn toward the approaching light of Christ.
