Dear St. John's
Parishioner,
A Blessed Christmas celebration and season to you!
The time of waiting and expectation is soon to be met
by the day fast approaching. When Christmas day comes
and passes, we are still a people who by the virtue of our
faith, are called upon to wait with expectation.
We wait with patience for our own maturing and growth in the
virtues of faith, hope and love. These do not come
easily. Like the season of Winter which seems to lock us
into cold and snow, we may feel distant and disconnected from
the movement of God's Spirit in nurturing our faith, hope and
love. Yet like the promise of Spring, the Christ child
unlocks our deepest fears. God has acted in Jesus to
spark hope in the darkness. In turn, we are blessed to
act with faith, hope and love in God's time and in God's way.
Peace,
Pastor
John | |

Scripture
of the Day
"In those days a decree went out from
Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This
was the first registration and was taken when Quirinius was
governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be
registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth
in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem,
because he was descended from the house and family of
David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he
was married and who was expecting a child. Wile they
were there, the time came for her to deliver the child.
And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in
bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no
place for them in the inn."
- Luke
2: 1-7 |
