This Sunday we enter the holy season of Advent—four weeks of preparing our hearts to welcome Jesus, the Messiah, God With Us.  This year we journey alongside the people who first waited for and welcomed Christ into the world. Through their stories, we will discover anew how God is with us here and now.

We begin with Joseph, the Dutiful (Matthew 1:18–25).  The Christmas story starts with a dilemma: Mary is pregnant, and Joseph knows the child is not his. Out of duty and decency, he plans a quiet divorce. But God interrupts his dutifulness with revelation—inviting him not just to “do the right thing,” but to participate in God’s extraordinary plan.

Come join us as we enter Advent through Joseph’s faithful yes.
