Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite ChurchI pray the days are filled with joyful anticipation as you become more sensitive to the reign of heaven come near to us.
In our time, God is seen as a powerful tyrant or an irrelevant myth. God calls us to celebrate the center point of human history, when God came to live with us as a small one in need of parent's love, provision, and protection, a sign of unexpected power in weakness.
The scriptures we will consider this Fourth Sunday of Advent are Isaiah 7:10-16; Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19; and Matthew 1:18-25. Steve Friesen will be our preacher; his sermon-- 'Bethlehem on my mind.'
The Announcements follow below and the Worship Schedules for December 2010 and January 2011 are attached.
May it go well with you.
