LC Longing for Renewal November 29, 2020 - January 6th, 2021 How do we have hope in a time of frustration and fear? How can we renew our sense of mystery and w...onder, when mostly we feel exhausted and disappointed? Inspired by Isaiah 43 and God’s promise of doing a new thing, we will explore the ways that God has manifest hope in the midst of immense challenge in Scripture, through acts of creativity and imagination that flow from God’s love for us. From the Creation story to the birth of Jesus to the wonder of a natal star, for the first time ever, the Advent project will move through Christmas to Epiphany, offering daily reflections, music, images and art as a way of helping us all hope for a time of new creation. As we go, we will consider the primary phrase of the annunciation to Mary, be not afraid, and will also reflect on the ways that figures in the biblical story have quoted Scripture to keep themselves going. How can these words spoken centuries ago speak to us in our own time, challenging our uncertainties by deepening our discipleship? Join us for thirty-seven days, beginning Sunday, November 29 until Wednesday, January 6th. And may the deep peace of Christ bless and be with you in the coming season!

All Saints celebrates the baptized people of God, living and dead, who are the body of Christ. As November heralds the dying of the landscape in many northern r...egions, the readings and liturgy call us to remember all who have died in Christ and whose baptism is complete. At the Lord’s table we gather with the faithful of every time and place, trusting that the promises of God will be fulfilled and that all tears will be wiped away in the new Jerusalem. https://youtu.be/DqbJ61ywZRE See more
