This Advent, while global Christians prepare to commemorate the arrival of the Prince of Peace, our Palestinian kin in Gaza suffer unthinkable violence – again. Their cries for deliverance, echoing those of two millennia ago, seem to be falling unheard in the United States for the second year in a row.
To see their pain and hear their cries, US Christians must move beyond information to transformation…from webinar to worship.
On 20 December 2024, a number of organizations – Christ at the Checkpoint, Christmas Lutheran Church, Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP), Global Immersion, Red Letter Christians, Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center, Samud Initiative of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) – are joining forces in solidarity to simulcast a live worship gathering guided by Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac and the team at Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem.
Last year, Rev. Dr. Muther Isaac's "Christ in the Rubble Sermon" became phenomenon in Christian communities and the world thanks to the service’s prophetic message calling for justice in Palestine.
This year, Christ is Still in the Rubble, and Rev. Dr. Isaac will again deliver an Advent message to the world – live from Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem.
Join us via livestream at 10 AM ET / 5 PM Jerusalem on Friday, 20 December 2024 to hear his words. The worship service will be in Arabic with English captions and Rev. Dr. Isaac’s sermon will be delivered in English.
Registration is encouraged: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfgyrcylg4_NGF4luRVzt53mkSyBhfQnMb6HY-w20U_aBO5ng/viewform
Join us live on Red Letter Christian's Facebook page to watch the livestream.
