Dear friends:
In what has come to be this busy holiday season, we spend a lot of time expecting things and having things expected of us. We are expected to show up to every office party, neighborhood party, and family event. We are expected to show up with holiday cheer, smiles on our faces, and an overwhelming sense of joy. And we expect that this season will bring about some sense of happiness, we expect for things to turn out a certain way, we expect that things will be as perfect as they always have been.
Yet, the Christmas story shows us what beautiful things happen when our expectations are not met. What beautiful things happen when we move from expectation -- how we want things to turn out -- to a hope that things will come about in ways unimaginable to us. That is what happens in the text we will read on Sunday. Things do not turn out how anyone expected, and yet it brings about great hope.
We'll explore these
familiar verses from Luke's story in worship. There will be beautiful music, thoughtful prayers, and the beautiful gathering of the people of God.
I look forward to seeing you this weekend as we worship, celebrate, and pray together. Come, invite and bring a friend, for all are welcome.
With joy,
Grace
