Arise; shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Holy One has risen upon you. ― Isaiah 60:1 It seems to the early Christian community that the birth of the Christ is an act of God that reaches out to ridiculous lengths—farther than had been imagined before—to affirm the claim of God and the blessing of God on all people, not just a single tribal group or coalition or a few insiders of another kind. This is was an astonishing and life-changing notion for these early followers—one that changed their lives, one that deserved every corner of it and every ounce of their strength and energy. Do we understand the extent of this love, and its implications? If we are still seeking to understand this Sunday might help us. We will gather to worship and to celebrate the joining in marriage of Steven Wilson and Sandy Danielson. Come and see the heighth and width, the breadth and depth of God’s love! Enter into worship. Readings: Isaiah 60:1-6, 11 † Psalm 67 † 2 Timothy 1:5-10 † Matthew 2:1-12 About the Art: The art for this Advent season is shaped around the theme of “Many Pieces, One Story.” Each week the art will feature a quilt that holds meaning. The quilt pictured on the front cover was made for Steven Wilson when he was 17 by his foster mom. Steven Wilson and Sandy Danielson will be married today as a part of our worship!
