True Blessedness

Good Wednesday to you,

I trust you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving last Thursday. Our daughter Heidi and our son-in-law, Louis hosted us. It was their first Thanksgiving in their own apartment, and it was wonderful. I am also thankful for our guest preacher, Brianna Smith. I was able to watch the livestream, and I think she did a terrific job. Thinking about God’s faithfulness through the birth narratives in Scripture is a wonderful reminder to us of both God's promise keeping, and our challenge to be patient as we await the fulfilment of the promise of Christ's return.

Advent is a wonderful season. As we gear up for Christmas and all the related festivities, it is good for us to remember that we are patiently waiting for Jesus to come back and fully establish His eternal kingdom.

This next Sunday we are going to look at the gift of peace Jesus offers us in light of our hope. We are also going to be talking about the "Alternative Christmas Market," which the Mission Committee will host virtually, starting on Sunday.

I pray for you all as you prepare your hearts and homes to celebrate the birth of our Savior. May God's peace and hope encourage us toward a very Merry Christmas.

Grace and peace,
Pastor David
