the seaon of Avent
| the season of Advent |
Advent is a season of waiting — not a passive kind, but a tender, watchful waiting. We lean toward what is coming, even as we begin to notice what is already here. Beneath the surface of things, God’s light is quietly at work — in our longing, in our courage, in the small acts of love that shimmer through the dark. This year at Fairfield, we listen for the holy heartbeat of hope, peace, joy, and love — discovering the light within the waiting.

Reign of Christ
November 23 | 9:30am
If you’ve been wondering whether there’s still a place in this world where hope gets spoken out loud—where laughter doesn’t cancel reverence and where ordinary people dare to believe that dawn really can break into our bruised places—then you may want to come this Sunday. Because we’ve reached the one-year mark of choosing a future together, and somehow, against every odd and obstacle, small miracles have been sprouting: a tiny choir finding its voice, blessing bags carrying tenderness farther than we imagined, candles flickering like stubborn prophets, tech that mostly cooperates (on a good day), and a community developer who keeps weaving holy mischief into our life together. This sermon will be equal parts wonder and wink, tenderness and truth—an invitation to remember who we are, what God is up to among us, and how light keeps finding a way. Come if you need to be lifted, come if you need to laugh, come if you need to remember that the dawn is still on its way.
Questions:
1. When something you’ve loved or depended on begins to crumble, how do you recognize God’s presence in the dust and disorientation?
2. If endings are also beginnings in God’s story, what might be quietly trying to be born among us, even as we grieve what has been lost?.
