SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, January 7, 2024

Dear Friends in Jesus –

I share with you a poem by Gian Carlo Menotti. It comes near the end of an anthology, Watch for the Light. It speaks to all of us who seek and seek to follow the incarnate God.

Love Alone – Gian Carlo Menotti
The Child we seek
doesn’t need our gold.
On love, on love alone
he will build his kingdom.
His piercéd hand will hold no scepter,
his haloed head will wear no crown;
his might will not be built
on your toil.
Swifter than lightning
he will soon walk among us.
He will bring us new life
and receive our death,
and the keys to his city
belong to the poor.

Let us look to this year in anticipation and hope because Jesus God pitched his tent next to ours.

With great joy in being your pastor –
