Join Us This Sunday for Advent 3: The Work of Becoming God-Bearers
"What was achieved in the body of Mary will happen in the soul of everyone who receives the Word." —St. Gregory of Nyssa

Mary’s story reminds us of the unsettling beauty of God’s work in us and through us. As Rachel Held Evans writes, “Mary is what made Jesus both fully God and fully human, her womb is the place where heaven and earth meld into one.”

This Sunday, we’ll explore Luke 1:26-56—Mary’s agitating encounter with Gabriel and her visit to Elizabeth—and reflect on what it means to be Theotokos alongside her: God-Bearers in a world that feels disturbed and tossed together.

📖 Scripture: Luke 1:26-38; Luke 1:39-56
🕯️ Theme: The Disturbing, Agitating Work of Becoming God-Bearers
