SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, December 12, 2021

Dear Friends in Christ –

Scripture says that folk ‘from all over Judea’ came to hear John. They surely had heard what was going on in the desert. They weren’t going for a week at Atlantis or a day spa. John had been going around preaching – and the word he preached was the word he had received from God. ‘Prepare the way of the way of the Lord!’

They were summoned. The hoi polloi to the holy were called. Maybe for some it was a lark, a chance to get away and goof on the guy who bailed on a cushy temple job for the desert. Or there were others who felt a nudge to find out what this was about, some who longed for Messiah and wanted to be ready. John wasn’t coy- if anything he was callous.

But his purpose was clear: things had to change. Repent. Wade in the water. Salvation is near!

 

Sunday’s service will include the children's pageant, the choir's annual Advent offering and the Burgis baptism.

All children are invited to be part of the pageant and need to meet in the chapel at 9:30 to get in costume and rehearse ahead of the pageant at the beginning of the service.


WORSHIP SAFETY GUIDELINES: Due to the high rate of COVID-19 community transmission, the CDC continues to recommend indoor masking in public settings for everyone. While a large portion of our congregation is vaccinated, there is a significant number of children who have not yet had the opportunity to be vaccinated, which affects the health and safety of the vulnerable and immunocompromised among us. Please continue to wear a face mask in church, even if you are fully vaccinated. Please worship from home if you are exhibiting any COVID-like symptoms, are aware of an exposure, or have been asked by a school or other institution to quarantine or isolate.
