This week (Sunday at 10am at
Jammin' Java) we continue with our Advent contemplation of Mary's experiences of waiting by stepping back from the mundane to the miraculous, contemplating what it was like to wait for the birth of the Messiah. We'll start by pulling Mary's very human experience closer to us by hearing from some of the Moms in our congregation about their experiences of waiting for childbirth, with all that entails: change, joy, pain, sadness, boredom, sickness and joyful anticipation... lives disrupted, shattered, turned upside down, and yes, made whole again... the
eucatastrophe of conceiving and bringing another soul into our beautiful, broken world.
If you haven't had kids or can't have kids, please come out and join us anyway. You were a kid, remember? You're part of this, too.
And we'll see where that takes us.
And then we'll eat burritos.
