Advent is a season of signs… 

…and those signs say something to us. Since the greatness of God took on the smallness of creation with Christ in a manger, this season reminds us to look out: Look out for the great in the small; see the significant in the simple. If we believe that God can be found in a manger, then it stands to reason that the Lord awaits us in the mundane.

The signs are everywhere: Crucial, yet significant signs. They’re visible, but are we vigilant? Join Rev. Jake Steele and CUMC on this second Sunday in Advent as they sojourn with the Mary and she travels with haste to visit her cousin, Elizabeth. She traveled with haste because she needed something. While the Magi looked out for something, May sought out someone.  This word challenges us to be a people who not only look out for signs, but also in the meantime look in as well.  The next sign could be closer than you think!

May the Lord richly bless you in your hearing and receiving.
