9:30AM FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT (DEC 24): WE SING STORIES OF HOPE
Luke 1:46-55 | Luke 1:67-80: As soon as Zechariah’s voice returns, his first words are gratitude and blessing. He sings a story of praise for God’s protection and promise, and then he showers a blessing on his newborn son. He sings a story of hope. After Elizabeth proclaims blessings upon Mary, Mary sings: “My soul magnifies God; my spirit rejoices in God.” Mary sings about a God of liberation who pulls the powerful from their thrones and lifts up the lowly. Mary sings a story of hope, one in which justice and joy are interwoven. As we prepare to celebrate Christ’s birth, may we also sing stories of hope, justice, and joy.
CHRISTMAS OFFERING
Our Christmas Offering this year will be divided equally to support the United Methodist Committee on Relief’s International Disaster Response in Israel & Gaza and to support our local refugee resettlement agency in Sacramento called Opening Doors. Make a gift to support these vital ministries here.
