Our faith finds meaning and expression in the starlit night of Advent’s longing, in the arrival of Christmas joy, and in the shining of Epiphany’s invitation to “Come and See.” Ashes mark the beginning of Lent, reminding us of our mortality as we walk with Jesus to the cross. Trumpets herald the rising of Christ on Easter and the Love that does not die. On the day of Pentecost, God fans embers of faith into the fire of commitment as the Holy Spirit arrives to stir the church up in God’s purposes now and forever.
