Take the leap and look for joy! It’s all around us but we must open our eyes!

Advent Week 3 invites us into joy—not as a fleeting feeling, but as a deep trust that renewal is possible. Isaiah 35 paints a world where creation rejoices, strength is restored, and those who wander find their way home.

This week, may joy open our eyes to signs of restoration and help us join the Spirit’s work with gentleness, courage, and hope.

This Week’s Invitation: Look for the places where joy is already breaking through.

[Alt Text: Graphic titled ‘Advent Week 3 | Isaiah 35:1–10 – JOY.’ The image includes a reflection about joy rooted in Isaiah’s vision of renewal, a prayer asking the Giver of Joy for strength and grace, and an invitation to look for places where joy is breaking through. Three Advent candles are shown, including one pink candle for Joy Sunday. A rainbow flame illustration with a cross appears in the bottom right corner.]

A day of “Great Joy!” Our choir blessed us with a beautiful cantata. Our children leapt for joy! Our hat, sock, mitten tree will provide joy to the homeless in the form of warmth. Being with one another in our fellowship luncheon was joyful indeed!
