Time of comfort, hope, and light on the longest night of this very long year. Service of comfort, hope, and light on this, the longest night in this very, very long year. In a more typical year, Christmas is advertised as a season of joy, excitement, and happiness. And this year, as we weather a pandemic, we are grieving and longing and struggling on multiple levels. Perhaps in no other Christmas season of our lives do the shadows of the night feel as looming and overwhelming. So welcome to this service of hope and healing on this, the longest night of this very long year. Let us worship God. Support the show (https://tithe.ly/give?c=2509)

Online worship - Fourth Sunday of Advent with Special Music for the SeasonSermon Series: Emmanuel: God With UsMessage: What in Heaven’s Name?The Love of God-With-Us does not come as a mere feeling or sentimental fluff. Love cannot be imposed from on high. Love is our greatest commandment— tending tenderly to God, to others, and to self. The Love of God-With-Us is love in action, radical love practices: redistribution of resources and risks, solidarity with those most exposed to a threat, hospitality to caravans, refugees, migrants, and sojourners, caring for those we’ve been taught to despise, or fear. This love is fierce and tender. It defies unjust rules and flattens hierarchies of value. We are an anti-racist, affirming, and progressive community of faith in Atlanta. No matter where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!At this church: Black Lives Matter; Womyn’s rights are human rights; Children are seen and heard; No human is illegal or erased; Love is love; Science is a gift from God People of all abilities, faiths (and no faith) are our siblings!www.vhchurch.orgVENMO @VHCHURCHSupport the show (https://tithe.ly/give?c=2509)

Sermon Series: Emmanuel: God With UsMessage: Singing Justice into ExistenceThe Joy of Emmanuel, God-With-Us, does not come as naïve optimism. Joy cannot be commanded or imposed from on high. The Joy of God-With-Us exists side by side with mourning; it knows that pain and death are real, but do not have the final word. This joy comes from paying attention to what matters. The Joy of God-With-Us is collective, liberating us from despair.We are an anti-racist, affirming, and progressive community of faith in Atlanta.
