Greetings in Christ!
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it! Let us rejoice in the blanket of fresh snow on the ground, and let us be glad that the weather forecast is offering us a bit of a respite over the course of the next few days so that those of us who haven’t completed all of our change-of-season preparations can catch up! And yes, that includes your pastors…
This week is kind of unique; we’re not yet into the Season of Advent, but we’re no longer in “Ordinary Time,” those days following Pentecost that make up most of the church year. This week is very much an in-between time, that is best used to finalize our preparations for the season of preparation and waiting that we know as Advent. Preparing to prepare might seem to be something of a head-scratcher, but bear with us for a moment– preparing to prepare involves clearing our decks of clutter and distraction, whether we’re talking about getting ready for a big project around the house or getting ready to observe a holy Advent, during which our entire focus is on preparing the way of the Lord in our hearts, minds, and souls. We have been presented with a rare opportunity to tie up all the loose ends of our faith lives so that the incredible, amazing, wondrous, and glorious events leading up to the birth of our Savior can be celebrated without reservation. So take advantage of this week to prepare for the season of preparation; it will be well worth the effort!!
God bless you!

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Acts 2:42
