Our season of hope is coming to its Christmas destination, but we have one more promise to unwrap - the promise of justice. We cry with the whole creation, "God, come and make all things all right." Mother Mary will lead us in song as we look to her Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) and ask the Advent question, "When will justice arrive?"
2024 YEAR-END GREETING
December 20, 2024 • Ryan Marsh, Sara Wolbrecht
Pastor Sara and Pastor Ryan have a short greeting for you as we come to the end of 2024. We’ve had a pretty amazing year and it’s largely because of YOU and the ways you’ve shown up and given financially to Salt House.
As you consider your year-end giving, please keep Salt House in mind. We’ve historically seen some amazing gifts come in during the month of December. These donations are crucial as we start making plans for our next year’s budget and the ministry possibilities ahead.
Thank you for your generosity and faithfulness!
Christmas Play + The Promise of Restoration
December 15, 2024 • Sara Wolbrecht
It’s time for JOY! During the first two weeks of Advent, our community has been readying our hearts for Jesus’ birth. But what have the kids been up to? How are they preparing? We find out this Sunday during worship with the Christmas Play, Where in the World is Christmas? Please join us for this special presentation during worship this Sunday, the 15th, with our Salt House kids.
THE PROMISE OF COMPASSION
December 8, 2024 • Matthew 3:1–3
"Christ is coming!"
"When?"
"Right now!"
"Really?! What should I do?"
"Get prepared."
"How?"
That's what we're listening for this second week of Advent - how do we prepare for Christ's right-now arrival. John the Forerunner says, "turn!" How do you prepare yourself for Christ coming to you - turn away from sin and turn to Christ. And what we find in Christ is.... compassion. I want to tell you all about this on Sunday.
THE PROMISE OF TRUTH
December 1, 2024 • Sara Wolbrecht • Jeremiah 33:14–16
Advent is here! In this "most wonderful time of the year," many of us are feeling weighed down with the weariness of our wider world, in addition to our personal struggles, even as we're surrounded by the glow of twinkly lights and jamming carols. This Sunday Pastor Sara kicks off our journey to Christmas with our new sermon series, The Weary World Rejoices, making room for the complexity of this season, as we wait, long, and hope, together.
