A Note From Our Music Director - December 12th, 2018

When In Our Music God Is Glorified 

We come to the third Sunday of Advent this Sunday: Joy. Sometimes it is hard to find Joy, especially during difficult times. Remember, however, that we are in a season of expectation, longing, and hopefulness. We wait for the coming of Christ at Christmas. This Sunday we light the candle of Joy, a reminder that Christ brings us everlasting joy. In many traditions, the third Sunday of Advent is devoted to Mary, the mother of God.

What does the Christ Child mean to me? 

“Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. ‘Don’t be afraid!’ he said. ‘I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior- yes, the Messiah, the Lord- has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!’ ”

Pastoral Thoughts - December 12th, 2018

Glimpses of the Grace and Truth in Christmas...Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Happy New Year! Yes, it is a bit early for some of that, but it’s good to practice celebrating all season long, even adding an exclamation point at the end of things. The exclamation point should remind us of a truth I learned from a retired lumber man in my first appointment, “Pastor, every day is Christmas!” He reminded me that every day of the year is a day to celebrate Christmas. Christmas means Christ is born, because every day is a good day to remember that.
