With God's Hope~Our Journey Continues...

The Advent candles, Prophecy, Bethlehem, Shepherds and Angels, lead us to the manger to remember that God broke into history and humanity and became human for each of us. The birth of Baby Jesus in a humble stable-cave touches our hearts with new life. Life that is given for us each day. The darkness of our lives is again overcome with the brightness of God’s light—his love and compassion as light overcomes the long nights.

Unbelievable News! Xcel Energy finally called! The transformer that we’ve been waiting for, since July, might be installed in early December. That would be an answer to patient prayers! Waiting is part of Advent. Waiting for the Savior to come again into our hearts to fill each of us with hope and love! When the transformer becomes a reality, it will make all the other parts come together. The heating and air-conditioning people are rapidly putting in the ductwork. The electricians are pulling wire and the sprinkler people are hanging pipe for fire protection in the ceiling. Glass will go into the windows in early December. The sound system conduit is in place. The parking lot will have islands for trees and farming. Yes, waiting for the transformer to be installed has been like an Advent journey. Keep praying that all continues to come together. Thanks to everyone for continuing to share in this mission with your gifts and prayers! Pray for all the workers - that they continue to be safe in building this special sanctuary.

Pray that each of us will find PEACE in the rush to December 25. “In a little stable far across the sea. Was a little baby just like you and me.” Come and worship! Invite friends! Merry Christmas!
