What Will God Do With This? 12.8.24.

This year during Advent, we go back in time to listen to voices from the past. What did God's prophets of old dream about? What did they hope for? What were they afraid of? As we listen to the prophets speak "the hopes and fears of all the years," we compare them to our own hopes and fears. What do we bring to God?Advent 2 brings us a reading from the prophet Isaiah as he looks at the ruined city of Jerusalem after the exile and tries to imagine "what will God do with this?" What kind of future do we imagine for our own community? We light the second Advent candle.
