Advent: What Can't Wait?
During Advent we dedicate the four Sundays before Christmas as a time to focus on the birth of Jesus. It is a season of waiting. It is a time we reflect on what can be birthed with new life. However, we also know that while we anticipate a new birth, there are things that cannot wait.
Therefore, we ask the question, What Can’t Wait? What demands our immediate attention? What requires our work and preparation? What is it that God can’t wait for? Is it our praise, reconciliation, and proclamation? Is it the end of suffering, isolation, and fear? This Advent, we invite you to join us in imagining, prioritizing, and preparing.
