Narrative Lectionary for the Fourth Sunday of Advent, Year One
Tell Joseph’s unlikely story of dreams, of decisions, and of righteous intentions. Invite us all to dream a little dream of Christmas—not of sugarplums and reindeer clatter but rather of peace, of justice, and of salvation. Set the stage for the real work of Christmas to begin.

What about Joseph?
FOURTH SUNDAY IN ADVENT, Year A, Dec. 19, 2010
This week’s gospel text offers an excellent opportunity to connect with the men in the pews. Consider lifting up Joseph as a fine example of counter-cultural discipleship and a strong male role model for today’s men and many challenges they face.
