Happy New Year! In the Christian calendar, Advent marks the beginning of a new year, full of possibilities. We will be exploring the four themes of hope, peace, joy, and love, and this Sunday we begin with hope. If hope is the ability to envision things being better, we have to have a clear picture of how things are now. In other words, we have to know the truth. But truth is growing ever more difficult to discern. Indeed, each of the crises that define the current age hinges on different interpretations of truth. We might have thought that access to more information would make discerning truth easier, but it seems we were wrong. Ultimately, truth is revealed by God. (But what does that mean?) Real hope is based on the truth that God reveals.

_________________________________
Our worship each Sunday is intended to be a collective experience, a communal practice. We might step into whatever is our sanctuary, each one of us as individuals, and yet as we assemble, from wherever we are, we become a people, drawn together through song and prayer, through word and ritual, and through the Spirit who breathes through it all, through us all. One and the same Spirit uniting us breathing us into life!
