When the angel greets Mary in Luke 1:28, she is described as “blessed among women.” Mary’s blessedness isn’t tied to wealth, power, or status—it’s rooted in her identity as one chosen by God to bear divine hope into the world. This first Sunday of Advent, Pastor Reeves reminds us that the beauty of Mary’s story is how it begins—with blessedness. And so does ours. We belong to a God who calls us precious and beloved. Join us as we consider how blessedness can transform the way we love and live together.
