As we continue our Advent series, With Us in the Dark, this Sunday we will be leaning into the Advent theme of Love, and it may not be the kind of love we usually associate with this season.

So much of our world right now feels unsettled. Many of us are carrying anxiety, disappointment, grief, or quiet questions we do not always name out loud. Advent reminds us that God does not wait for the darkness to lift before He draws near. In fact, the Christmas story begins right there.
