Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church I pray you are excited by the anticipations of the seasons of Advent and Christmas. This next Sunday we will begin our journey through Advent toward the reception of God's profound commitment to make a home with us. ln these celebrations may we recognize anew the fulfillment of God's promise always to be with us and among us. As we participate in all occasions when God extends divine love and invitation to us, let us rejoice that we can together share in the consequences of God's intervention for the sake of our eternal destiny. May it go well with you. Sincerely, Garland Robertson ...always hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do something to bring some portion of misery to an end
