The Wise Women of Advent: Part 3

Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • December 9, 2023

Girl, Interrupted

On Sunday, we continue our journey with the wise women of Advent. This week, we will seek wisdom from a young woman named Mary. Scripture tells us she found favor with God. Some might question whether this truly was a sign of favor as it led an unwed teen to become pregnant in unbelievable circumstances. But sometimes it's not the circumstances we find ourselves in, but instead how we handle ourselves in the midst of life. Sunday, we will consider Mary, a young woman wise beyond her years who is favored by God.
