World AIDS Day
4 Week Study Series - Starts this
Wednesday, December 3rd at 7pm
with Dr Mark Isaac Dalgleish
Reawakening Hope, Preparing the Way, and Becoming Christ in the World. Inspired by Paul Tillich’s vision of faith as ultimate concern, estrangement as sin, and the courage to be, this series invites MCC Sydney to enter Advent not only as a liturgical season but as a sacred reorientation toward life, love, and new purpose.
This Week – Hope – Longing for More
Longing is not a problem to solve; it’s the beginning of transformation. We name our yearning—for meaning, connection, renewal—not as failure but as the spiritual spark of hope.
Reflections:
• What are you longing for in your own life?
• What are we longing for as a church community?
• What does it look like to stay spiritually awake, even in uncertain times?
