Finding Home: A Christmas Journey to Hope, Peace, Love and Joy
Everyone has a different understanding of home and the places where we belong. Some people may find home not in physical spaces but instead by belonging to a community that accepts the entirety of who they are and who God created them to be. Advent and Christmas are about the story of God's homecoming. During this season, we consider how we can make a dwelling place for God and, in turn, create dwelling places for ourselves, where we can find hope, peace, love and joy.
