Joseph’s role in the Christmas story is quiet but deeply brave. Faced with fear, uncertainty, and public risk, he must choose between protecting himself or standing in love and solidarity with Mary. In a dream, God speaks into his fear: Do not be afraid.&nbsp;The child will be called Emmanuel—God with us—a promise that God shows up not in certainty, but in vulnerability and human messiness.When Joseph wakes, the situation hasn’t changed—but he has. He chooses presence over distance, love over fear, and reaches out his hand so Mary does not face the unknown alone. This Christmas, Joseph’s story asks us where we are being called to do the same: to offer our hand, to accept help, and to trust that God is with us in the reaching.Come and worship with us on Sunday, December 21st, at 9:30am. During this Fourth Sunday of Advent, as we welcome Rev. Karen Hodges, Interim Minister, to the pulpit. She will lead us in a service full of prayer, scripture, reflection, and inspiration.
No matter who you are, whom you love, or wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome at ACC, an open and affirming congregation.
