Sermon: ”Language Blossoms” by Rev. Maeve Hammond on 12/07/25

Friends, I have a pop quiz for you today. I promise you won’t be graded! When I ask you, “what is the language of Advent,” what comes to mind? That may sound confusing…Put another way, what are the words we center our attention on during Advent? You may guess the words of hope, peace, joy, and love - the four elements of Christ’s incarnation. If you guessed those words, you were right! Hope, peace, joy, and love are the language of the four weeks of Advent, each designated and distinguished by a particular candle. As we prepare ourselves for the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child, we can focus on each word as the weeks pass and bring us closer to Christmas
