Gospel: Luke 1:26-38

Description: The story remembered by the Church as “The Annunciation” wasn’t just about an announcement, but also Mary’s response to the angel’s words. What does Mary have to teach us about being a faithful disciple?

Text: Luke 1:46b-55

Description: I don’t like the song ‘Mary did you know?’.  Yes, she knew!  We know too- that God was, is and will be faithful.

Gospel: Mark 1:1-8

Description: How is the Wizard of Oz different from the Gospel of Mark? (Besides the lack of ruby slippers, flying monkeys, or a man without a brain.)

Gospel: Mark 13: 24-37

Description: What are you noticing lately? This “Covid Year” is not just an experience of waiting, but also one of revelation. What new insights is God making possible for us to see? What have you learned about yourself or the world since March?

Text: Matthew 25:31-46

Description: Pastor Krista shares about her experience of seeing Jesus in those experiencing homelessness in downtown Racine.  We are all called to love those in need, for they all bear the image of God.

Gospel: Matthew 25:14-30

Description: In so many ways right now what we have is not enough. What we can do is not enough. What does God call us to while we wait for things to get better?

Gospel: Matthew 25:1-13

Description: At MPLC we celebrate an extended Advent season, focused on what it means to live in faith in this “in between” time…between Jesus’ birth and his coming again to usher in God’s kingdom. How can we be fired up and ready for that day…which is closer than it has been in two thousand years?

Text: Matthew 5:1-12

Description:  What does it mean to be a saint? A saint is a follower of Christ. What does it mean to be blessed?  Being blessed is about who you are, not about what you have.
