No matter who you are
or where you are on life's journey,
you're welcome here! 

Dear Friends,
   I warmly invite you to join your church family as we gather in worship this Sunday, December 15. It's the Third Sunday of Advent and we come face-to-face with a disturbing question asked of Jesus: Are you the one, or should we look for another? Among other reasons, it's disturbing because John the Baptist is the one asking it. John has spent his life preparing the way for Jesus, and now, at the end of John's life, he asks this question. Oh my. I'm guessing we've asked it from time to time, too. I know I have, anyway. Our primary text is Matthew 11:2-11. I'm calling the sermon The Gift of Disillusionment. And yes, I'll explain what I mean by that Sunday morning. In addition, we'll light the third candle in our Advent Wreath, our Band will lead us in a couple terrific Advent songs, and our Choir will sing the beautiful Lo, How a Rose. It's going to be a wonderful morning. I hope to see you here.
   ~ Rev. Mark
