If you are interested in placing altar flowers, please sign up on the bulletin board in the narthex. As of December 7th. This is the Season of Darkness. Little light shines upon the earth each day and what does arrive seems so timid, cold and frail. In the midst of the darkness of the outer world is often found inner darkness.
People struggle with depression, loneliness and the sense of unrealized expectation.
Into this place shines the light of Advent. A candle lit for each Sunday not only marks the passage of time but reminds us again that the light of Christ shines into our hearts and into our brokenness. In Advent we discover the richness of our future in Christ Jesus. That is often the call of the holiday season. All I need is a few hours to myself to shop, rest, spend time with my spouse.
