Pastor's Reflection
The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas), December 24 2022
My dear, dear friends,
“Today is born our Savior, Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11) And so join our voices with the Angels in Bethlehem, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” (Luke 2:14)
Fourth Sunday of Advent December 18, 2022
Dear Friends,
Last Sunday was a dreary and drizzly afternoon but love and joy shone brightly forth on our front lawn as our young people brought the Nativity of our Lord into this present moment. Our live Nativity was by all accounts a truly major success. So many braved the drizzle, damp, and cold to come out and witness it. The live animals were quite a success with the children, both young and old. Our youth group provided lots of hot chocolate and hospitality throughout the time. It was a beautiful way to remind ourselves of what we are all about these days.
Third Sunday of Advent December 11, 2022
Dear Friends,
As we arrive at the Third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday, the Church invites us to “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Indeed, the Lord is near” (Phil 4:4,5, the Entrance Antiphon for this Sunday). I am excitedly anticipating the unfolding of our Live Nativity, Sunday afternoon from 2:30-4:30 pm, on our front lawn. Be sure to come by and experience this wonderful event. Refreshments will be available.
