Starting Over: Rejoice
Rev. Tim Canniff-Kuhn
REJOICE - The coming of our Lord fills our lives with Joy, again and again. The story of Zechariah and Elizabeth illustrates how this joy explodes into a exaltation that can not be contained within ourselves. Rejoicing produces an energy that fuels our ability to serve without fear, proclaiming the goodness of God and reaching out to others with the incarnate love of God.

So, the question is: "How do we respond?" How do we respond to the changes in our midst? How do we respond to the challenges and opportunities in our community? How do we respond to the call of discipleship that our Lord puts in front of us each and every day? How do we respond to the gifts that were first given to us by God?
