“The Reason for the Season”
Jesus is “the reason for the season,” right? Well… that’s only one set of beliefs attached to this time of year. There can also be different festivals of light, from Hanukkah to Diwali. For ancient peoples in the northern hemisphere, this season represented survival — the return of the light and warmth of the sun and the promise of spring to plant and grow food once more. In modern secular times, this season can mean family time and feasting. For others, it can be all about shopping and gifts. And for others, the season can feel lonely and blue. There’s also the wonder and magic of a jolly old elf and his flying reindeer delivering presents all over the world in just one night. Most importantly, what does this season mean to you? As the co-creator, the co-author of your life, what are your reasons for the season?
We will gather for in-person worship at 10:00 a.m. in our sanctuary or if you prefer — or if you are feeling sick — please continue to log on to Zoom from the comfort and safety of your own home to be a part of our worship experience.
If you are unvaccinated or are not comfortable gathering in person at this time, please plan to log on to Zoom to see the live streaming worship service.
