 REJOICING

“The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose,” says the King James version of Isaiah 35.1.

The prophet was looking forward to the redemption of Zion. On this day of rejoicing, like a sudden, brief parting of the clouds, we are called to rejoice in anticipation of our coming King. The focus of our attention on the advent wreath moves from the somber purple to the rosy pink, and the legends and stories and hymns sing of blossoming as well as light. 

Sunday school begins at 9 a.m. and worship starts at 10:30.
