In Mary’s song of joy about the coming birth of her son she sings about what God has already done: the proud humbled, the powerful pulled down from their thrones,
She can sing this way about the future birth of her child is because it repeats the song of God’s restoration that has been sung throughout the ages. Mary’s song of joy happens because she sees the birth of her son as the beginning of the fulfillment of the hope that people like her had been singing about for generations.
Like Mary, In Advent we sing because we look forward to something better than the violence and suffering and injustice all around us. We look forward to the kindness and generosity and compassion of our God being fulfilled for all the peoples of the world. This is our joy too when we receive this precious gift of Jesus into our own lives.
Join us on Sunday as we continue on the journey. We begin worship at 10 am. All are welcome either in-person or on-line. The bulletin can be found on this website in the virtual bulletin tab. We look forward to seeing you!
