My fellow members of Christ’s Body, the Church,
I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and hope that you find the next few days a joy. God is good and God is good all the time!
This Sunday we begin our Advent journey and a new year with the Gospel of Mark. Mark’s main emphasis in his telling the story of Jesus is the cross. For him the death of Christ defines his mission and his ministry and so defines those who follow him. We will see this year the power of suffering love and how suffering love transforms lives.
We will begin our traditional Wednesday Advent soup suppers followed by a prayer service. I hope that you will plan on attending.
We are also inviting people to wear blue during this season as we clothe ourselves in the hope of Jesus Christ.
On December 7 following the 11:00 service we will have our annual meeting. Everyone should have received a notice in the mail with the agenda. If you did not, contact the church office. Copies of the annual reports and 2009 Spending plan (budget) are available in the narthex.
