Volume 2 Issue 26

I hear the bells
Saying Christmas is near
They ring out to tell the world
That this is the season of cheer

I hear a choir
Singing sweetly somewhere
And a glow fills my heart
I'm at peace with the world
As the sound of their singing fills the air

Oh why can't every day be like Christmas
Why can't that feeling go on endlessly
For if everyday could be just like Christmas
What a wonderful world this would be

I hear a child
Telling Santa what to bring
And the smile upon his tiny face
Is worth more to me than anything

Thank you again for allowing me to share this moment with you. While you’re here, I hope that you will find meaning and inspiration in today’s sermon and that you will be able to spend some time with the variety of interesting and informative postings on the Bulletin Board. I am deeply grateful to those who take the time to “reply” to my messages and the whole cyber-community benefits when you add to the Bulletin Board (I’m told by those who have done this that it is a relatively “friendly” process, so why not take a stab at it?).

This second Sunday of Advent focuses upon Christ the way. What this means exactly is always subject to interpretation, but today’s sermon posits that the “way” is more meaningfully understood as a process. The explanation of the process that is offered also suggests that community is to be found in the exchange of thoughts and ideas by those who compose it. The invitation is once again extended for you to participate in the theological forum that GiC provides so that our authenticity as a community of faith might be validated.

Until next week…….Shalom!
