Close to Home
When something hits close to home, it profoundly affects us. During Advent and Christmas, we explore scriptures that reflect our longing for God to draw near. The "Close to Home" theme captures the tension of our faith—Emmanuel is with us, yet God's promised day is not fully realized. May we find comfort in God's presence, create a sanctuary for those far from home, and embrace joy, hope, and courage this season.
December 15 – A Home for All
Scripture: Luke 3:1-18 & Zephaniah 3:14-20
John the Baptist’s message may seem harsh, but he calls for a home where inequities are eliminated and everyone can thrive. His joyful vision urges us to build a welcoming kin-dom for all, with a large table that has room for everyone.
