Advent Series: The Gift of Being Present


Advent can be filled with worry about finding the perfect Christmas gifts. Deep down we want people in our lives to know they are special and that we love them. But sometimes we overlook the greatest gift of all...our very presence. Our spiritual ancestors were also worried — often about survival in the midst of political occupation. And the response of the scriptures is “the Holy Living One is with you.” Like a shepherd who never leaves the flock, we are held close. This season, we are invited to be the gift of presence for our loved ones, for our communities, for those who need it most.

 “Being Present with Hope”


This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. It is a time of preparation for Christmas.


The theme for this Sunday is “hope.” What is hope? How can we define hope? Is hope a mere wish? Join us this Sunday as we explore what it means to be present with hope.
