Upcoming Worship for Fall: Advent
The first Sunday of Advent is November 30th this year.
Advent means “arrival” and signifies the start of an event or the arrival of a person. In Christian communities around the world, Advent refers to a four-week season of remembering and celebrating the arrival of Jesus on Earth.
Advent is a time for anticipation, reflection and preparation. At Grace, we often share this poem by Mary Oliver.
Making the House Ready for the Lord
Mary Oliver
Dear Lord, I have swept and I have washed but
Still nothing is as shining as it should be
for you.
Under the sink, for example, is an
uproar of mice—it is the season of their
many children. What shall I do?
And under the eaves
and through the walls the squirrels
have gnawed their ragged entrances—but it is the season
when they need shelter, so what shall I do?
And the raccoon limps into the kitchen and opens the cupboard
while the dog snores, the cat hugs the pillow;
what shall I do?
Beautiful is the new snow falling in the yard
and the fox who is staring boldly up the path, to the door.
And still I believe you will come, Lord: you will,
when I speak to the fox, the sparrow, the lost dog, the shivering sea-goose, know that really I am speaking to you
whenever I say, as I do all morning and afternoon:
Come in, Come in.
