Join us for our Advent Journey beginning Sunday December 1st, at 10am
Advent is a journey of waiting. A time when we as the church recognizes that not all is right in the world, and we hope for a time when all is made right. To journey through Advent is to hold in tension our current reality, and the hope of a world made right.
One one hand, we live in a world where systems and powers allow oppression and sin to flourish. And it seems that, in spite of our best efforts, those systems and powers seem to be winning. We see daunting issues like climate change, racial injustice, poverty, and countless other realities, and wonder what we can do.
On the other hand, we hope for something more. For a world made whole. Advent is a time when we stare injustice in the face and say, “You might think you have won, but something new is coming. Something more powerful than you. Your days are numbered.”
This Advent, Queen Anne Christian Church is going to be holding the idea of Sabbath as our guiding theme on this journey. Sabbath according the biblical narrative is about much more than rest. It is about how we orient ourselves to the rhythms of life. It is about creating rhythms of life that allow life to flourish and justice to break into our world. It is about choosing the economy of abundance over the economy of scarcity that is so prevalent in our society.
As we sit in a world not yet made whole, hoping for justice to break in, let us begin to practice this idea of Sabbath together. Whether you have been playing with the story of Jesus your whole life, or are wary of any ideas of faith, you are welcome on this journey with us.
