Lectionary Texts

This week’s lectionary texts are Isaiah 7:10-16, Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19, Romans 1:1-7, and Matthew 1:18-25. As we transition to Christmastide, we hope you will continue to practice hope through these resources. Consider inviting your communities to continue this collective work through sharing resources about using deep canvassing skills to engage in conversation with their families. Through listening and understanding, we encourage you to be present with love through difficult conversations so we can change the narratives for our collective flourishing. We believe this is a strength of our communities, though it requires time, healing, and patience. May we bring these gifts of Christian hope as we enter another election year and endure the difficulties of this season.
