The God Who Sees
Over the next 6 weeks we will be on a journey of seeing, taking time to see where God is showing up. We will meet the Holy Family as they will have to flee their homeland seeking safety in another land and fast forward to Jesus, in his 30s, beginning his ministry. Through these weeks, we will see a God who is ever present, truly seeing us in our journeys of alienation, loss, and belonging.
