December Pastor's Letter

Advent and Christmas Services

"The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Mark 1:1.

The writer of the gospel of Mark announces that what you are about to read is no ordinary news. What you are about to read is good news! The good news is this: That God became human being and came to live among us. During this Advent season we are preparing for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Then at Christmas we celebrate Christ’s birth.

October Pastor's Letter

Dear Friends in Christ,

The closing hymn at our worship on September 4 was "Blest Be the Tie That Binds." It was a very fitting hymn, not just because of the gospel reading that day, but also because of the start of our ministry together. The words of the second verse are particularly fitting for this time of transition and newness:

Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our tears.
