Words for the Beginning: You Are a Blessing | Theological Exploration with Pastor Taylor Hall

This is the first class in our four-week Advent series, Words for the Beginning, inspired by resources from A Sanctified Art. Presented by The Rev. Taylor S. Hall, this session explores the theme “You Are a Blessing” through the lens of Luke 1:26-38 and Isaiah 43:1-4. In this session, we reflect on the radical message of belovedness and blessedness that God imparts to us. Just as Mary was called “favored” and chosen to bear Christ, we are reminded that we, too, are blessings claimed and loved by God. Together, we wrestle with the forces in the world that challenge this truth and seek to ground ourselves in God’s promises of hope and new beginnings.

HallDate: December 1, 2024Location: Room 115, First Presbyterian Church of Allentown Join us on this journey of reflection and discovery as we uncover the words we need for this Advent season.
