This is a time of increasing fear in our world. A time that will call for moral clarity and resolve. Simply being afraid will do us no good. Thankfully, it’s this time in the church’s story of Christ, that angels begin to appear. The angel Gabriel to Mary, the angels around the manger, and the first words of an angel are always, “Do not be afraid."

This Advent we will listen to that angelic voice. We will set fear aside and seek to behold the Christ. To behold the great miracle that God is doing in Christ. Gather with us this Advent, and Behold, the Light.
