The stories and traditions of Christmas have been passed down to us through our families: both the families of our birth and our families of faith. This season holds a lot of emotion and memories with us as we journey through it together. Sometimes those emotions and memories might be good, and sometimes they might be difficult. Through it all, though, our stories always have God’s story as a part of them. In our stories and the stories of those who came before us, God continues to show up and help us continue to move towards love, peace, and liberation as we come to behold the God who chose to make the Divine’s home here among us in flesh and blood. This is not just a story about us, but about those who came before and those who will come after, a family story that continues on, transcending space and time, as its work continues building on what has been toward what is to come. Join us as we journey through Advent together looking at our family story.
