Dec. 4: Melissa Florer Bixler, Pastor at Raleigh Mennonite Church

“Trouble at the Table: A New Way of Life for a New People”
As we prepare our lives for Jesus during this “little Lent” we will take time to pause with the community at Corinth as Paul calls them to account for divisions in their community. How do social and economic divisions shape our Eucharistic practice? What do the shocking pronouncements in 1 Corinthians mean for those of us who share table fellowship today?

Dec. 11: The Rev. Mary Davila

Simeon and Anna: “Lord, you now have set your servant free to go in peace as you have promised; For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, whom you have prepared for all the world to see.”

These two temple dwellers have been waiting their whole lives to see the salvation of the Lord, and they burst forth in song when they meet the Christ Church. What does it mean to see the Savior, and where do we see him?
