The Season of Advent

an Advent Message from Pastor Wayne

Each year we are called to enter into the Season of Advent anew.  Advent this year begins on Sunday, December 1.  I will be doing a four-week sermon series entitled, The Road to Bethlehem.  Each step of the journey will allow us to go deeper into the spiritual experiences of Christmas.  As we journey to Bethlehem may we find:

1 – The Faith of Christmas;

2 – The Promise of Christmas;

3 – The Peace of Christmas;

4 – The Christ of Christmas

One night God gathered a host of his angels above a field just outside of Bethlehem.  The angels sang their song…O my, did they sing it!  “Glory to God in the highest…and on earth peace and good will toward all…”  And as the angels sang, they knew there would never be another night like this one, and there would never be another birth like this birth in Bethlehem.  Once each year, Christmas comes around again to remind us that God’s Son has come to earth and now we must do the singing!  And look how we have tried.  Without question, one of the best and most beloved parts of the celebration of Christmas is the music!  The good news of Christmas is so awesome, so full of wonder, that it’s not enough to just talk about it.  We have to break forth in song.

I hope and pray that you will join us this Season of Advent for a different sermon series, our Children’s Christmas presentation, wonderful music and your favorite hymns.  Our joyous Christmas Eve Service will be on Tuesday, December 24 at 5:00pm.

May God’s Blessings be with you this Christmas!

Pastor Wayne
