How Does A Weary World Rejoice?

Using resources from the artists and writers at A Sanctified Arts, this Advent and Christmastide we will be contemplating the question, “How does a weary world rejoice?” As we consider this question together, we will seek to hold space for our weariness and find ways to express our joy. We will seek a “thrill of hope” in our hurting world. We will welcome joy—even and especially if, like the prophet Isaiah, we cry out for comfort (Isaiah 40:1). In this weary world, may we find many ways to rejoice.
