Christ is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation. — Colossians 1:1
During Advent, one question that arises is how the Creator of all that we are and all that we have, the creative matrix that produced all experience over the eons, reveals Godself in the birth of Jesus; a God who sees, hears, touches, tastes, feels, laughs, loves, suffers, dies. This Sunday, we will explore the meaning of the incarnation and how the incarnation is manifested in our lives. This is also Communion Sunday. Our table is open to all, including children.
The Annunciation is an 1898 painting by the African-American painter Henry Ossawa Tanner. It depicts the biblical scene of the Annunciation, where the archangel Gabriel visits Mary to announce that she will give birth to Jesus.[1] The painting is held by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
