We are now in Advent. We are all busy baking, decorating, buying and wrapping gifts and preparing for the day. It is a time of anticipation and expectation. Pastor Jeannine related this time to being a contestant on the Price is Right. Your name is drawn after watching and waiting as you are in anticipation and alert being a contestant and possibly being called down to the stage. We also must be awake and alert for the second coming. This time of the year is an exciting time where we feel childhood joy and cheer. We share hope of the birth of Christ - without hope, our world would be so sad. Pastor Jeannine shared some of the symbols of the season. The evergreen is for eternal life. The presents are for gifts to Jesus from the Three Kings.
Remember the reverse Advent Calendar for the Living Well. There is a box for collection in the meeting area by the nursery.
The church is now decorated with our trees and seasonal poinsettias. Please see Chris Wyant if you would like to purchase a poinsettia and honor or memory of a friend or family member. You also still have time to bring some mittens, hats and scarves for mitten tree.
