A Note from Rev. Emily:
From Ascension to Pentecost, we’ll once more be joining millions of Christians around the world in praying for the growth of the Church. Daily reflections and prayer prompts will be sent via our email subscription starting on May 18; please speak to Rev. Emily if you’d like to be added. Part of Thy Kingdom Come is choosing five friends or loved ones to pray for, that they might come to know and love Jesus as we do – so start thinking now about who you’d like to pray for this year

During this season of Advent, we’ll hear afresh the familiar names and stories of the coming of Christ at Christmas. Often, we approach Advent as a time of waiting and preparation: waiting for Christ to come again, by remembering how he first came among us; and preparing ourselves to receive Jesus into our hearts and, someday, into our world once more. It’s the story of how Jesus came into the world to change the world, a story that the familiar characters of Christmas are each invited to participate in, in their own unique way. This unending song of invitation echoes across the centuries, inviting all people to know the love, hope, and salvation offered by Jesus. But in Romans 10, we are asked to consider how people will be able to hear that song and believe, unless they have been invited. We received that invitation ourselves, and we RSVP’d with faith. We are also called to be God’s great invitation to all the people and in all the places we will be this season.
