It’s hard to believe we are halfway through the Advent Season. This past weekend was absolutely amazing due to all of the hard work of our amazing choir, children choir, dancers, tech team, and all who helped usher and work with our actors. What a glorious gift our concerts were not only to King Jesus but to our congregation and community. One woman from Minnesota happened to attend a concert a few years back while visiting Orlando and made sure to come back for our concert this year. What a gift it was for so many.
In worship, we are continuing to walk through the overarching story of scripture to see how God used ordinary, but extraordinarily faithful women to help deliver a story of love, joy, hope, and peace that led to the moment of Incarnation, Christ among us.
We have received God’s story of love delivered through Eve, God’s story of joy delivered through Sarah, and hopefully, you have already listened to the podcast as God’s story of Hope is delivered through two midwives in Exodus 1. The Exodus story is one of liberation often attributed to God at work through Moses, but without these 2 midwives, Shiphrah and Puah taking their stand for the ethics of God against Pharoah, the story of God’s love and joy through the people of Israel would have come to an abrupt halt under the oppression of the new Egyptian King. . .
