I was not prepared. To aid your preparations, our congregation will be holding three special midweek services throughout December's season of Advent. In the first service a baby will be born. In the second we will celebrate a marriage. In the third there will be a funeral.
Life begins with conception and ushers forth in a living baby.
We are filled with awe and wonder over someone that has come to be out of nothing, without our power yet mysteriously including us. Absent in those little hands and soft flesh is the harsher side of life. Those angelic babes make us rush to baptism and pray God that He would preserve their lives. Make us children, we pray, and preserve us from evil. In the middle of life lies marriage.
