The 2nd Sunday after Christmas | Beginning with a God who pitches tents | Rev. Emily Gordon

I am looking forward to 2020 at Leaside United! Thank you for all your thoughts and well wishes with Kieran’s arrival and the rest of my leave. It has been lovely to have the time getting used to my expanded family, but I’m enjoying connecting again with the work and worship of our congregation. 

This Sunday we continue with the season of Christmas (yes, it doesn’t actually end until Monday – despite the appearance of Valentine’s Day chocolates!) We’ll take the opportunity to sing a few more Christmas carols, and a new LUC sung blessing. The choir will sing the beautiful Alleluia Introit, beginning our service with a sense of wonder and beauty. This week we’ll also have our first “Spiritual Sparks” insert that you can take home for further reflection, or to share with someone else.  

In my sermon “Beginning with a God who pitches tents” I’ll think about the questions: What kind of beginning is the birth of that little baby Jesus? Where are we pitching tents and where is God?
