Join Pastor Danielle for a special study Advent study around this year’s theme “The Advent of Love” using Heaven and Earth: Advent and the Incarnation. Will Willimon reminds us that the church’s year begins as the secular calendar ends. Right from the get go, we are out of step with the world. God’s love comes suddenly, wildly, and irrationally into our lives and into our world – not just 2000 years ago in Bethlehem but even now, even here! In Heaven and Earth: Advent and the Incarnation, Will Willimon introduces you to the God who does just that, bringing heaven to earth and changing everything. In Advent we celebrate and anticipate the earth-shaking, life-transforming good news that God is coming to us. Watch out. Get ready. God is on the way.
Will Willimon is Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry at Duke University Divinity School and a retired bishop of the North Alabama Conference of The United Methodist Church. He has authored numerous books and studies and served as the Dean of the Chapel at Duke University for 20 years.
This four-week class will be presented in two formats: Wednesdays at 11:00AM online and Thursdays at 1:00PM in-person in the Community Classroom.
