Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
I pray your anticipation of the advent of God's reign keeps your spirit
refreshed.
This next Advent Sunday reminds us to 'Get ready.' God calls us to
choose the path of peace. Are we preparing the way of the Lord? Are our
hearts prepared for God to burst in and reign in our lives?
The anticipation of God’s “bursting in” means that we must be ready.
God’s agenda is radical; it brings down what was high and lifts up what
was low. God’s light will guide us in continuing along the path of
peace, a path fulfilled by God’s coming.
We will be sharing communion together this next Sunday, remembering our
constant companionship with Jesus, receiving strength for our journey.
The Bethlehem Christmas Program project allows us to share our
celebration of Jesus with the children in the town where he was born
long ago. We have partnered with Mr. Zoughbi and the Palestinian
Conflict Resolution Center to support this annual event. Thank you for
your concern for this uniquely positioned ministry. If you are able to
participate with a financial offering as well, please plan to ensure
that your contribution arrives at the church before noon on Sunday, Dec 13.
You may place the offering, designated for 'Bethlehem Christmas
Project,' in the collection during worship or give it to either Daryl,
Walter, or me.
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
