Our Advent series, DETOUR: When Life Gets in the Way, leads us into the detours both Elizabeth and Mary faced in the months leading up to Jesus' birth (Luke 1). Like these two women, what can we hope for and anticipate in our own detour times?

ANNEMARIE'S STORY
December 9, 2018 • Annemarie Russell
It is the 2nd Sunday of Advent. Today we hear from Annemarie Russell as she shares her and her family's story -- their detour -- of becoming Matthew's adoptive family. Just as Joseph and Mary had to recognize the alternate route their lives would take with the birth of Jesus, we are invited to consider how our families reshape our paths, and even our very concept of family.
