We’re starting Advent a bit earlier this year with a worship series titled “Out of Time.” This series explores two senses of being out of time. Advent thrusts upon us the reality that time is limited. We run out of time to reconcile, to prepare, to make a change. Yet even as we are running out of time, God is outside of time entirely. God’s infinite being and infinite patience cut through our fear as God enters human time to dwell with us:  Emmanuel, God-with-us.
