Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
Tomorrow we will begin our journey into the season of Advent on our way
toward Christmas and Epiphany.
Advent is a special time to reflect on the ways and times we remember
and anticipate God becoming present to us. We will recall ancient
stories about the intervention of God to save and sustain humankind. We
will explore the prophecies that speak about the intervention of God in
our future. And we will search for the activity of God in our time, how
and where the divine presence is engaged. More important than any new
discovery, however, is our desire to be prepared for recognizing and
honoring the intention of God for the creation as it is unfolding
through our history.
I trust this will be an enriching and encouraging time for us all as we
listen together for a word of the Lord to us in the scriptures, songs,
and stories we will encounter during these seasons. I pray within your
spirits you will not only sense the awesome wonder of the infinite God
choosing to be among us but also celebrate the adventure this divine
presence creates for you. May the glory of God come upon you and shine
within and around you.
Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
