In this contemplative Advent season of waiting:
- for that which has already been,
– for that which is yet to fully be,
– for that which is the here and the now we live and move and have our being in,
we are reminded:
- we are not alone,
– we are not forsaken,
– we are sought and loved by God.
And we are called to help hold the hope for each other and for our world, as we remember and wait and live in hope, as our part of all of God's people.
And as the United Church of Christ likes to say "No matter who you are, no matter where you are in life's journey, ALL are welcome here!"
