Dear
Flock:
We
are drawing to the end of another teaching year and have much to reflect on.
But
nothing can match the centuries-long reflection of ADVENT, in all its meanings.
Advent
is from the latin “adventus,” meaning “Coming!” and, I would add, WAITING.
We
as believers are called to “wait differently” from the world. Waiting with
HOPE, waiting with PURPOSE, and waiting with Longing “for Our Lord’s
Appearing.” (Titus 2)
In
church history past, Advent was one-half “looking back” to the first
Advent of Christ, and one-half looking FORWARD to His Second coming!
Are
we looking forward? Are we straining for a glimpse of His appearing? Or will He
find us “Asleep in the Light..”?
Please
join us Dec. 12 at our Annual CHRISTMAS Tea, 7:00 p.m. at Good Shepherd
Presbyterian, 3307 Rea Road, Charlotte.
Friends
are welcome!
May
He be present and center in your heart and home this Advent Season~
Warmly,
DR A
