Merry Christmas! May God bless you and the people you love tonight and over the coming twelve days of this happy season.
After failing to disengage last year for my sabbatical, and frankly struggling a bit this past month, I’m starting to feel like I might, these past few days, be taking a break! I’m not preaching this year and I’m not celebrating. My wife, daughter and I are going to be singing in a local church choir – which will be a first for us.
I hope that your Christmas is filled with light and memory. God bless you all!
Rather than try to film a message for this year, I hope you’ll understand if I post a few links from previous year’s sermons.
Here’s last year’s message.
And here’s the year before that!
Peace…and health… be with you and yours. Your “presence” is a gift!
Celeste
And may you and yours enjoy a blessed Christmas and New Year.
Lucy and I have moved to Deerfield Retirement Community Assisted Living where Lucy gets some help with her joint and back pain and I get to be with her. I got a chance to preach Advent 4 and talked about Elizabeth’s experience of the baby moving as a sign of God’s continuing care for her and the baby – and the world he made and loves.
Tom – it’s so good to hear from you! I’m glad that you’re both safe and well. I was worried given the storm and its impact this summer. God bless you both!
