Third Sunday of Advent (Year A)
Sunday, December 15, 2019
The Rev. Kate Bryant

“The Bible has so much to say about fear because fear is such an enemy of life. It’s hard to love when you’re afraid. It’s hard to care passionately when you are afraid. It’s impossible to be joyful when you’re frightened. There is a sense in which fear limits life, constrains life, is the antithesis of life.”
