Advent: Gift Exchange | Fear for Joy | Rev. Allison Jean | December 10, 2023

Christmas is a time of giving, but so often we find ourselves receiving what we do not need and wishing for an exchange. In the arrival of Jesus in Bethlehem, God allows us to offer up the brokenness of our world and receive the wholeness of God’s presence instead. Throughout this special time of year FUMCR will be discovering the ways God exchanges things we do not need for gifts we could never have imagined. In this service, Pastor Clayton helps us exchange our fear for joy by learning how to put our trust in God and know that God has us, even when our worst fears come true.
