Pastor’s weekly newsletter | 11-28-2022

Dear Church Family and Friends,

We hope and pray that you are safe and well on this Friday and hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving!

This Sunday is the start of the Advent Season, and the Stockton Family will be lighting the first Advent Candle. I will be preaching on a familiar Lectionary Text from Matthew 24 where Jesus tells everyone that nobody knows the hour, the day or the time when the Son of Man will return. He tells us that only God the Father knows the time, so we are called to be alert and ready for the coming of Christ not only at Christmas but the 2^nd coming as well. We will also have the privilege of baptizing Audrey Edwards and Emma Smothers.

We want to invite you to the annual Hanging of the Greens on Saturday, December 3^rd at 9 AM. Please join us as we decorate our church for the Advent Season.

We also want to invite you to our Savory and Sweets gathering after the service on December 4. Please bring a finger food dish for everyone to enjoy.

A brief Congregational Meeting has been called for December 4 at the end of the service to officially dissolve the pastoral call.

Please keep in your prayers people in the hospital, Beth Childress, Naomi Fritz, Virginia Cunningham’s grandson Owen, homeless people during this time and Trinity Presbyterian and Peace Covenant and our friends at Venture Out.

Have a safe and blessed weekend,

Pastor Daniel
