For Advent-Epiphany, we’re devoting a Sunday to each of the big players.

Elizabeth took one look at her pregnant, unwed, teenage cousin and said, "Aren't you lucky!" Zechariah, confronted with good news in the holiest place on earth, said, "It can't be true." It's Advent, and for this season (extending through Christmas and Epiphany) we're paying attention to the people who make up the supporting cast for the coming of our Lord. "Lord, come quickly.” Luke 1:5-25, 39-45, 56-66; & Luke 1:67-79.

Mary: her own personal catastrophe, her own personal redemption, and the redemption of the whole world. How does she know this stuff? How do we not? Luke 1:39-56.

Jumping ahead to Jesus's adulthood, we remember his cousin John, a few months older, the one who read Isaiah and audaciously thought the prophet's words were probably meant for him. We used the scant outline of John's ministry from John 1.

We're about to dive deeply in Mark's gospel account, so we celebrated Christmas with the closest thing Mark has to a nativity scene: Jesus' baptism in the Jordan in Mark 1:1-11. What?! No sweet little 8-pound 6-ounce baby Jesus? Can it be Christmas otherwise?

It was Grandparents' Day at Galileo Church, and the day of dedication for Ember Reese Boatright. So it was perfect to celebrate -- and wonder about -- the presence of the old folks in Jesus's life, the generation that laid the burden of their consolation on his shoulders. Wonder how he felt about that? Luke 2:21-40.

From Katie: There is no bleeped version. I don't know how to bleep. From John 1:1-5, 14-18: Jesus, the Logos/Logic of God. Epiphany. Grace upon grace.
