Please join us even if this is your first time!
As we continue our advent journey together, we will turn to the stories leading up to the birth of Jesus as found in the first chapter of Luke. A portion of those stories was beautifully shared by Pastor Julia last Sunday. We will explore these and additional stories from various perspectives.
In this chapter of Luke, stories tell of the angel Gabriel’s visits to Zacharias and Mary to announce the births of John and Jesus. We will explore the different reactions (highlighted in gold) by Zacharias and Mary and what meaning we might derive from each. We will continue with Mary and Elizabeth’s beloved declarations (highlighted in blue) of faith and acceptance, blessings, joy and dedication and will then turn to Mary and Zacharias declarations of prophesy (highlighted in purple).
What do each of these mean to us as we read, reflect, and meditate on these stories?
