Preparing for Our Lord's Coming

Christmas kind of sneaks up on most of us every year.
Not because we don't know it's coming, but because
December is one of those crazy, every-night-is-taken,
gotta-go-shopping kind of times.  And it's easy to
forget that we are preparing for the time when we will
receive the greatest of gifts, our Savior, born at Christmas.

So I would encourage all of us to spare a bit of
time each week for the mid-week Advent services. 
These services will take place each Wednesday
evening here at the church, at 7:30, and will
last around 30 minutes or so.

We'll be having a light soup supper preceding each
service so we can fellowship for a bit, and also to
give those who have to cook a bit of a break during
this crazy time.  (But if you'd like to cook up a pot
of soup, we always welcome that during this cold time
of the year!)

So give yourself a bit of breathing space.  Come
Wednesday evenings, and quiet your soul in a time
of waiting.  Waiting for the Savior Who comes to
you this time of year.
