Advent Study begins Mondays , Nov 25 from 10 AM or 6 PM.
Rev. Mimi McDowell and Rev. Kathy Fitzhugh will lead us in our Advent study, Making Room by Ed Robb. Often our Advent preparations have an inward focus as we prepare for the significance of God breaking into our world through the birth of the Christ child. But in a closer examination of the Advent story, we quickly learn that the focus of the coming of the newborn king is outward. Dr. Ed Robb explores the warmth of welcome at Christmas following interactions with Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, and the magi. Just as Jesus made room in God’s kingdom for a host of people that society wanted to leave on the margins, beginning with the appearance of the shepherds, we too should be asking ourselves who we can make room for this Christmas. Perhaps it is to the people in your community, or the newly immigrated family in town that doesn’t speak your language. Or maybe it’s the next-door neighbor who just settled in from yet another corporate move? The story of Christ’s birth encourages us to widen our borders and increase our sense of community and make room for others.
Sign up by emailing office@broadmoorumc.org. Cost for materials is $20 for a paperback book or purchase your own digital copy.
