This is the fifth Sunday of Advent. This is the season of holy waiting and expectation. We are calling this liturgical season: “Surprise! (Not Surprised) because we know what we are expecting. We are expecting a change. We are expecting the justice that has been deferred for too long. We call into this season of pandemic and anti-black violence everywhere - hope, joy, peace and love. We wait- but are not inactive. This season as always, we listen for the voices of the prophetesses, the voices of the marginalized, the small and the young voices to lead us in Advent.
Come! Let us worship the Spirit of water, breath, earth and fire-This week’s message will be delivered by Pastor Henra Chennault. We know you will enjoy this rousing sermon and hope you love our online worship!
About Park Avenue Baptist: Park Ave is a bold, inclusive, and creative community where everyone is welcome. We uplift voices and identities that are marginalized elsewhere. We affirm all ethnicities, racial identities, ages, socio-economic groups, gender identities and sexual orientations because we hold to a theology that refuses to other anyone. At Park avenue our leadership model is nonhierarchical, and we practice an open pulpit where you will hear a multiplicity of theologically trained voices from different backgrounds and social locations. We don’t just preach and talk about deconstructing systems and structures of power we practice it.
