[Neighbors] Advent at Monte Vista Christian Church

[Rev. Dr. Dawn Rosignol]

Dear Nob Hill neighbors,

I'm writing to invite you to our Advent 2020 journey. The Advent season
begins this Sunday. It will be a most unusual journey this year as we live
with anticipation and expectation of what’s to come. Our Advent theme this
year is “Imagining a New World” – with each week’s emphasis, respectively,
on Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Attached is our schedule for this year and
here is a link to our newsletter for if you're interested in ways that we
continue to be church for a hurting world in this difficult time: MVCC
11-25-20 newsletter
<https://us3.campaign-archive.com/?u=8613912aa65e40a81ca2b2947&id=39a796fee3>
. Scripture texts for this First Sunday in Advent are: 1Corinthians 1:3-9 &
Isaiah 64:1-9. Sermon title is "Imagining a New World: Hope". When times
are difficult and there’s no end in sight, we might be crying out for God
to open the heavens and come down” to right the wrongs in the world. What
encourages you to hold on to the hope of God in Christ? Where do you find
the hope of God in Christ making a difference in people’s lives? In what
ways might God be calling us to embrace hope in our lives and embody hope
for others in these challenging times?
The service will continue to be livestreamed to our ‘VistaStream’ Youtube
channel (https://montevista.org/vistastream) for viewing in real time or
later, and to our church Facebook page for viewing later. Here is the Zoom
link for this Sunday's service: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87664010691...
Meeting ID: 876 6401 0691 Passcode: 450663 Hear a message of hope in God
that's inclusive, expansive, & present among us. We invite you to create
your worship space, with items that make it meaningful for you, including a
candle (of any kind), your Communion elements, and whatever else invites
you into a worshipful presence with God. We believe that the Lord's Table
is open to everyone; all are welcomed to share in Communion at the
invitation of Christ. The worship packet is available for download from
montevista.org. If you have prayer concerns you'd like to share, either
confidential for our pastor only or for our congregation's prayer list,
please email them to me at revdawn at montevista.org. Be well. Be safe. Be
healthy. Be connected. MVCC is a 90-year old congregation in historic Nob
Hill. We are an Open & Affirming congregation where everyone is welcomed,
included, needed, & matters to God and to us.

Blessings of hope,
Rev. Dawn
