“The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.” –O Little Town of Bethlehem, (Phillips Brooks, 1868)
Throughout the stories of Christ’s birth, the whispers of angels deliver a surprising message: “Do not fear.” In our own time, we might ask, “Is it even possible to be fearless in the fearful world we live in?” When we find ourselves in fearful times, can we acknowledge our fears while also insisting on hope? This class for both adults and teens will explore these questions through small and large group discussions, art, poetry, and more.
Recently, our church has celebrated the Advent season each year with a different church wide theme that draws us together in a singular message revealed through the events centered upon the birth of Jesus. The Sunday sermon, music, children’s message, and both the children’s and adults’ classes will center on this year’s topic: “What Are Your Fears?” For more information contact Diana Hoke at hokediana@gmail.com.
