This week we will light the third advent candle of Joy when we gather together.
Joy seems complex at the moment; we often experience joy when it seems inappropriate to do so. When Paul writes to the Thessalonians “Rejoice always,” we might respond, “How can we rejoice when so many are losing their lives? When we can’t gather safely with our friends and on Sunday mornings?”
We will explore the tension between joy and sorrow, and how the Scriptures, especially the Psalms give us a home in experiencing joy and sadness at the same time. Come join us!
