Let go and Let God. Learn to sing. Look for ways to help others. Give lovingly, inclusively, purposefully and freely.

As we enter this advent season, but also on this ‘All Saints’ Sunday, we learn from the Apostle Paul what it means to be a “saint.” Paul teaches us that we are all saints, those who are “set apart,” or “claimed by God” to go out and fulfill God’s call. In being the saints God is calling us to be, how can we think of “seeing purple” in a new way as we light a purple advent candle to mark the coming of Jesus the Christ?

Combining the first Sunday of Advent, a celebration of the saints that have gone before us and a baptisim led us to look at the Genealogy of Jesus. The stories that are part of His history, the stories that are part of our history give us Hope for our future.
