RCL Reflection for the Third Sunday of Advent, Year B, December 13, 2020
On Gaudette Sunday not even a global pandemic can steal our joy in the birth of Jesus and all that means. Whether you are meeting in person, in your parking lot, or via Facebook or Zoom for worship this Sunday, don’t miss an opportunity to celebrate joy in a time when more joy is sorely needed.
Lectionary Reflection for the Third Sunday of Advent, Year B, December 17, 2017
This is no Sunday to be a killjoy, no time to “quench the Spirit,” but rather a stellar opportunity to remind one another of this precious good news that we have the privilege of sharing with others. We have seen the light of Christ, and the light has made of us something entirely new. Rejoice and be glad! (Photo: Susanne Nilsson, Creative Commons)

Like John the Baptist, we are called to point to Jesus, to share the good news so that others may know him. Witness is not passive. We tell the story of what we have seen, heard, and experienced. (Photo: Paolo Tonin, Creative Commons)
