Until the Dawn

We know all too well that the world is not as it should be. Wars rage on, violence persists, new tragedies unfold. God’s promises are real, and God’s promised day has not yet come. This tension keeps us yearning—for a new day, a new way, a world made new.

Join us this Advent as we focus on the actions we can take as we move through the night with hope for tomorrow. Night is a time when the way forward may seem unclear, when our senses are heightened and fear may creep in. And the darkness also brings gifts—rest, regeneration, dreams, intimacy with God. In our sacred stories, angels often arrive in the night, calling for courageous action and singing good news. In the night, Mary’s labor pains crescendo and Christ is born. In the night, shepherds and Magi follow the stars to get closer to God. And so, in the metaphorical night, we will carry on with the work that is ours to do.

This theme will help us resist despair and put our prayers in motion. As we move through the season, we will cry out, start somewhere, speak up, take courage, build up, and choose joy. Until the day when God’s love reigns and all the earth echoes shalom, let us keep moving, singing, resisting, and rejoicing—trusting that God joins us in the work of Advent.
