    "Holding Out for HOPE” by Pam Lee-Miller

    Welcome to the third Sunday of Advent. There's a part of the Christmas story that is often overlooked. A man named Simeon had been promised by God that he would not die until he had seen the Christ child. And a woman named Anna had spent most of her old age waiting at the temple for his arrival. Their promises came true when Joseph, Mary and the infant Jesus came to the temple for his cleansing. What does that mean for us today?

    "Peace” by Pam Lee-Miller

    This Sunday we continue our Advent series, "There'll be joy!" We're focusing on Peace as we take a look at the moment when angels suddenly appeared late one night to a group of tough and hardened shepherds. Why, of all the people to hear the news, did God choose these non-influential, everyday people to share the announcement with?

    "It Must Begin with Love.” by Kenny Bishop

    Advent is here! This Sunday we begin our journey toward Christmas - the moment our relationship with God would change forever. This first Sunday of Advent introduces us to the special relationship between Jesus' parents, Joseph and Mary. By law, Joseph was within his rights to end their engagement, but knowing the shame it would cause his soon-to-be wife, he chose to hold onto love instead.

    "A Letter of Gratitude” by Pam Lee-Miller

    This Sunday we will look at an encounter Jesus had with ten lepers. After healing them, one returns to Jesus and thanks him profusely for the healing. Are we more like the thankful one or the ones who received healing and went on about their everyday life? How do we build our faith on gratitude? Join us for "A Letter of Gratitude."

    "A Time to Carry and a Time to be Carried” by Pam Lee-Miller

    Sometimes we're strong - strong enough to be a force for ourselves and for others who may need a little boost. Sometimes though we need a little help, and that's when we rely on those around us to help us make it through the season we're in. As you'd imagine, the Bible has some thoughts on how we can be there for one another.

    "Blessed Are You: The Sunday After a Tough Election” by Kenny Bishop

    Our plan was to conclude our election-time series last Sunday. However, we've heard from a lot of people who are looking for assurance and hope after this past Tuesday's elections. A lot of folks are afraid, and many feel threatened. What do we do with our anger and anxiety? How do we respond to our fear and our grief? How committed are we to the good work of justice and righteousness in our world?

    "Malice Toward None" by Kenny Bishop

    As of this message, we are hours away from casting our final votes for who will be the next president of the United States. Getting here has been hard, emotional, and disconcerting. Families and friends have staked their territory and many have chosen not to listen to the other side, outside of the targeted parts and pieces their own side wants them to hear. Our nation is fractured, maybe not as drastically as it was in the mid-1800s, but probably as divided as it's been since. It would be a good time to be reminded of Jesus' words in Matthew 22 that loving our neighbor is not an option, and Abraham Lincoln's words to a broken nation as the Civil War was coming to an end...

    “We are the Body-that’s who we are” by Pam Lee-Miller

    This Sunday we continue our worship series that invites us to extend ourselves beyond the divisions we feel in this world. We will consider what it means to respect each other, irrespective of our differences. "R.E.S.P.E.C.T., find out what it means to me." Aretha Franklin convinced us that it means a lot. Sometimes we think having respect means to agree or be the same, but that is not actually the depth of what respect is about. It comes from the Latin "respectus" which means "the act of looking at one often, to consider, to observe." We are called to respect by tending to one another. We'll see you this Sunday to continue our series, "Do Unto Others." MESSAGE: “We are the Body-that’s who we are” by Pam Lee-Miller SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 12: 1-31 Learn more about us at ⁠bluegrasschurch.org⁠ Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube
