Gathering 214: “A Lamp on a Stand” // Service of Worship // ellie hutchison, MID

Have you found it more difficult this year to sit in the light and hope of the Christmas season? Throughout scripture, we discover a rich tradition of God’s presence symbolized by light. For many, however, Advent and Christmas does not always hold joy, light and peace. And with the added element of a global pandemic impacting all of humanity, the light can’t always break through the darkness. Join us today for an uplifting message from our Member-In-Discernment, ellie hutchison, as she reflects on the advantages of living in the light with intentionality. Listen and discover how our own light, even when dim, can model our receptivity to God. By surrendering our disbelief in the impossible to be possible, we can be a lamp on a stand for ourself and others.
