Announcements

Watch today’s Countdown To Christmas!

SCENES OF SALVATION: Proclamation. Usually when someone receives an announcement of a pregnancy, it is not the mother! But here, Mary is the one who receives the news from an angelic messenger. The birth of the promised Son of the Most High was at first troubling, but this soon resolves into a faithful declaration of humble submission to the Father’s plan to redeem the world. How do you respond to news? This Advent season, as we remember Jesus’ birth and look forward to his promised return, how might we hear the proclamation like Mary, with faithful humility? How might we join in the proclamation and share this good news with others?
