Black Friday is almost over,
the turkey leftovers are nearly gone, some family members are already on their
way back home...Thanksgiving is winding down. Will you take time to
catch your breath before Advent starts Sunday? The rush toward Christmas seems
more intense each year, compressing time needed to prepare for the celebration
of God's great gift of hope in the babe of Bethlehem.
Saturday evening, I will begin sending Advent devotions. Each night
through Christmas Eve I will email you a devotional for the next day as a means
of focusing attention on the greatest news of the season. So, as you are
perhaps recuperating from all that has gone on in the last few days and
preparing for what is to come, together, let us begin our journey to
Bethlehem.
Olga and Cindy will help us begin Advent this Sunday as they share
beautiful keyboard duets during worship. This is the first of several special
services during the holiday season. Invite a friend to join our Westwood
celebrations throughout the season.
