This Advent Podcast is intended for those who may feel a sense of heaviness during these dark days of December and who are looking for light and comfort during a time when it is hard to find a safe place to grieve. Pastor Paula shares a story of a dark December in her life, when her children's father was dying and she was in the process of watching a 20 year call to a parish fall apart, and how a song, "There's Still My Joy" and the hope behind it reminded her of who Emanuel is and how God being with us in the muck of life through the Incarnation gives us hope.
