Sharing Our Lives

Audrey Barton, preaching

Advent is a time of anticipation for, and as, a church community. Together we remember what it was like for Christ to enter the world, and prayerfully look forward to the new ways we hope he will manifest divine love and light in our lives in the coming year.

"Ruth" is a little book tucked into the Hebrew scriptures about two women walking, together, from destitution towards a tenuous hope.

Whether our Advent anticipation this month is showing up in the form of excitement or of peering uncertainly into the gloom, we can learn some things from this story about how not to let ourselves and others go forward alone.

Based on Ruth 1
