December 3, 2023 // Advent 2023: How Will We Know? // Advent 1: How Long Must We Wait?

WildWords: Sermons from Wildwood Mennonite Church

Our Advent theme this season is How Will We Know? This first Sunday of advent we focused on the question How Long Must We Wait? Dr. Seuss and Joe introduced the topic of waiting and then Marg Epp helped us to think about waiting from the perspective of a refugee. Marg shared about the period of waiting that our refugee committee experienced back in 2015-2016 while waiting for Ma They Yare and her family to arrive.

Marg also shared excerpts from a book that she is writing about Ma They Yare’s lived experiences as told by Ma They Yare through a translator. These excerpts are not included in the recordings. We will have to wait until the book is complete to read them.
