Dec. 22 Livestream Link
Our weekly service features traditional liturgies as we proclaim God’s Word and celebrate the sacraments. Music includes congregation singing led by our organ and choirs. We use prayers and readings to express our identity as the people of God and celebrate our unity with Christians across the ages. For communion, we welcome all baptized Christians to the table where Christ is host. -
Sunday Bulletin
Today’s reading from Luke’s Gospel gives us the extraordinary encounter between two women, both pregnant with surprising children. The men are left silent, offscreen. Mary goes to visit her older relative, Elizabeth. Elizabeth asks a question that is often upon our lips: “Why has this happened to me?” Why, we ask, do we suffer? Why do we struggle? Why is there so much evil for us to endure and observe? Elizabeth, however, is world-weary enough to be accustomed to such things. Her question points to the great reversal that God is beginning to unfold: Why has the mother of my Lord come to me? Mary sings the answer. God, through Mary’s Son, this little child of little Bethlehem, is coming to enact the great reversal. The outcast shall be blessed, the last made first. Why? Because God has promised. Why you? Because God loves you so much that the Son is born for you, and for this whole world.
