Season of Advent
Season of Advent
When something hits close to Home, it touches us deeply. During Advent and Christmas, we journey through Scriptures and rituals filled with emotion, carrying memories of the season of our hearts. This season, we’ll explore how Home is both physical and metaphorical, sometimes something we seek. Our Scriptures serve as blueprints of God’s dream to dwell with us, reminding us that God is our true home. Sacred ground surrounds us as God draws near.
May we expand safety and sanctuary for those far from home. Wherever home is found, may we live fully in joy, hope, peace, love and courage.

After receiving the extraordinary news from the angel, Mary seeks refuge in the home of Elizabeth and Zechariah—a sacred space where she can process her new calling. Their home becomes a sanctuary for her, offering not only physical safety but emotional protection, a haven for her heart as she prepares to sing her song of praise. Sanctuary is vital for all of us, but especially for Mary, as she prepares to become the living home of God.
Sanctuary is any place where God’s love dwells freely and abundantly. This Advent, as we await the coming of God’s love into the world, we celebrate all the places—both physical and spiritual—where sanctuary can be found in the heart of God.
