HEAVEN AND NATURE SING SERMON SERIES
SUNDAY'S BEGINNING December 3 9am Gray Summit — 10:30am Union
|
SERIES OVERVIEW
“Joy to the World,” a beloved Christmas classic, turns 300 this year. Composer
Isaac Watt’s interpretation of Psalm 98 invites us to sing a “new song”–and it is a
powerful cosmic performance of all creation being renewed and freed. Rather
than “joy” being yet another word for “happiness,” we will discover that the
depths of joy can be found especially in the midst of suffering, the work of
justice, and the presence of compassion–all part of the coming of Jesus to this
world and a message the world still so desperately needs.
