On this final Sunday of Advent, anticipating God’s putting on human flesh to dwell among us, we’ll experience first-hand some of the fruits of that incarnation. Filled with the Presence of this indwelling God, members of our congregation will offer us gifts that have sprung from their own Spirit-saturated creativity. In addition to Mark Collier’s message about shepherds and joy, inviting us to “make space for wonder and awe and running across muddy fields to meet our Savior,” Spencer Grimes has composed a song for us, Paul McLellan brings a faith story, Bob Stromberg will do the reading, and the entire McLellan family will light the final Advent candle. Our entire service this Sunday is a demonstration of Revelation’s promise that “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among humankind, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,” filling and equipping His people for His mission of joy into the world.
