"The Colors of Christmas" (Advent Sermon Series, 2021)

Any particular color, as an artistic or literary symbol, may take on any number of meanings.  It is often the wider context that lends a color its true significance... 

As we enter Advent 2021--another season of waiting and preparation for the advent, the coming arrival of the Christ--we are asking ourselves, what do these colors mean in the context of Christmas? 

This is nothing new. For centuries Christians have assigned particular meanings to these colors: Red is traditionally seen as a means of expressing belief in the eternal and abundant life we have received through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Green is for new birth to a living hope of eternal life in Christ. Gold represents worship and God's gifts that are given to be shared. Blue is a reminder that some people experience heartache and pain even, especially, at Christmas. And White reminds us that Christ came so that our lives may also reflect the fullness of God's goodness and grace.

Join us for Sunday worship this Advent as we look with fresh eyes at the "colors" of Christmas!
