| The Lazarus Window, December 2025 A&M UMC, College Station, Texas |
A&M United Methodist Church commissioned a new sanctuary window on Sunday. They are installing new stained glass, working their way around the sanctuary and we were there for the first Sunday after the "Lazarus Window" was installed. Each section depicts God's presence in a perilous time, calling forth life.
To consider the Lazarus story during Advent, is to consider places of grief, loss and peril. Like Mary and Martha, we may wonder where exactly is Jesus in this or that situation. Especially when we find that sorrow and joy are sitting at the same soul table - under the same soul roof.
In God's way, and in God's timing - life is called forth. Like Lazarus, we are called forth by name. And it is enough. As it has been written, "nothing is impossible for God."
