Without a doubt this is the season for excitement! When I watch the little children in our preschool I can just sense that they are beginning to move and act a little differently these days. The music, the decorations, the daily lessons about Jesus, all combine to create an atmosphere of "specialness."
This week's Wednesday evening meditation: "Wait for Jesus in Seriousness" is planned around the words of Jesus recorded in Luke 29-36. "... 29 ΒΆ And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet..."
This is probably the darkest message of Advent. Its like suddenly falling into a pit because the message is somewhat gloomy as it provides a commentary for today's society's spiritual attitude. The darkness, however, is dispelled by the light of hope that is Christ Jesus.
Join us in fellowship and in worship Wednesday evening. We have a pot luck fellowship meal beginning at 6 PM, our evening meditation begins at 7 PM.
