December 1 – First Sunday of Advent – You Are A Blessing
Mary is described as “blessed among women” (Luke 1:28). She is neither wealthy nor powerful, and yet she is chosen to bear God’s child. Her story begins with blessedness and so does ours, for the prophet Isaiah declares that we are claimed by a God who calls our name. We are a blessing because we belong to God. When blessedness is our beginning, we begin to see the world—and others—through the eyes of a God who says: “You are precious in my sight” (Isaiah 43:4).
Isaiah 43: 1-7 and Luke 1: 26-38

Generosity rises from the conviction that God has provided, and that we can participate in God’s work with our offerings. Give today.
