2026 Bishop’s Advent Study
When Hope is Born: An Advent Study in the Theology of Midwifery
What if Advent is not only about waiting for hope, but about helping hope be born?
This Advent, join Bishop Lanette Plambeck for When Hope Is Born, a four-session journey through Scripture exploring the sacred work of midwifery: noticing what God is bringing to life, tending what is vulnerable, making room for what is emerging, and courageously participating in the birth of hope.
At each gathering, expect:
4 fresh angles to familiar stories of our faith
3 guiding questions for conversation and reflection that speak into historic and present-day realities
2 Advent songs to help us pray and ponder
1 fresh encounter with a biblical story of midwifery and the birth of hope. Perhaps hope is not confidence in knowing what comes next – maybe hope is faithful attendance to what God is bringing to birth even when we cannot yet see.
