It’s Advent week two, 2021! “…on those living in the land of deep darkness, a light has dawned!” (Isaiah 9:2) Sunday, we continue to tie together the theme of GRATITUDE in the Heidelberg Catechism into Advent, as we turn our eyes to loving God, one another, and self. One of the primary ways we express gratitude for the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ is by reciprocating love for God. How do we do that? God spells it out for us in Scripture with the 1st table of the Law (10 commandments), it’s plain for all to see. Sunday, we will dive in, listening and discerning what God says about it all.
Speaking of diving into God’s grace, we will be celebrating the profession of faith and baptism of Eric Armitage either this Sunday, December 5th. That’s right, we will celebrate God’s grace and love with Eric in this step of faith. So, after worship this Sunday, we will carpool/car train over to the reservoir near Cherryvale and Baseline to baptize Eric. So, break out the wet suits… and the laughter and joy. God is good.
So, break out the wet suits… and the laughter and joy. God is good.
Couple other things of note: If you would like to go to Jesus on Colfax on December 12th, from 4-6pm for a BBQ dinner and see what it’s all about.
