Mosey around skillet back to COT

MARY: is a beacon of Joy in her visit to cousin Elizabeth (Luke 1:46-56)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 12/24 convergence
COT: Hope and Joy. Shared how these have appeared in our lives and changed with the seasons of life. We also shared the struggles we face as men, husbands, fathers etc… to maintain a posture of Hope and Joy in our lives amid the daily chaos surrounding us and the challenges of balancing that real, genuine posture vs. just “pretending” all is ok. Most of us walk around carrying more on our shoulders than we talk about, and can easily become weighed down… affecting our ability to experience hope and joy.

Romans 15:13
“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the holy spirit”
