Incarnation: God is in the House ("Grounded" 4/8)
from Yes! We're Open: Living Faith with Needham UCC · host The Congregational Church of Needham
At Christmas we ask "What Child is This?" and sing about God being "pleased as man [sic] with man to dwell"--in other words, we reflect on The Incarnation, the enflesh-ment of God in Jesus. But this isn't just another "Prince and the Pauper," king-in-disguise story. The mystery of the incarnation--that God is found in our humanity and our humanity in God--is an everyday mystery, but no less mind-blowing and life-changing for being so common; in fact, that's kinda the point.Lent is a season in the life of the church for reflection, when we intentionally sift our lives, all that we do and leave undone, looking to build upon all that is life-giving, for ourselves and our neighbors, and leave behind all that is not. It's a time to sink our roots deeper into God's good soil and grow from there.The Congregational Church of Needham, UCC strives to be a radically inclusive, justice-seeking Christian community. We are a member congregation of the United Church of Christ denominational family. Join us for worship Sundays @ 10am LIVE! online via Zoom. Connection info at www.NeedhamUCC.org.
