Zechariah and Elizabeth; Mary and Joseph; the shepherds and the angels; the holy conversations and encounters that changed the landscape of life forever…they seem so out of reach and other-worldly—too distant for us to digest in our day.
Right?
But, “pssst!” Let me let you in on a little secret: Believe it or not, those accounts eerily parallel the “everydayness” of our experiences and they beg to be unpacked. How about opening them with us?
Contrary to what some may contend: The sermon can’t say it all!
The precipitating events that literally gave way to the birth of the gospel are deeply rich and relevant. The word becomes even more enriching when it’s engaged within community.
When’s the last time you were awed by the Word because you were open to dialogue?
It’s time for a fresh take…and there’s no better start than in a new year!
That’s right! We’re carrying the Christmas story into the new year and we’re creating a space not only for conversation but for fresh expressions of faith in our modern context.
Starting on Jan 7th-28th from 5-6:30 pm we’ll gather in the family room for a small group study that’ll revolve around the O.M.G. Sermon Series and corresponding gospel texts. It’ll be a perfect place to extend dialogue, ask questions, glean additional information, and see life from new frames.
Attend in person or join us on Zoom (please call the church office at 304-242-2455 to receive the Zoom link via email)!
