Hey! It's December, and you know what that means, right? Chri---
whoa, hold yer horses, there, pardner! not so fast... At least in our pseudo-liturgical kinda-tradition, the days leading up to December 25 are about
waiting. Or, in other words,
Advent. That time of year when we restrain all of our rushing toward Christmas, and encapsulate some of the unfulfilled hopes we have as we slow down and focus on the waiting that all of creation is doing for the fulfillment of God's purposes. We wait for the Christ child, and we wait for the completion of all of his hopes and dreams for the world.
So we hope you can come out and wait with us this Sunday at 10am at
Jammin' Java. We'll be sharpening our sense of expectancy and sharing our hopes with one another. And, we may even let out a
groan or two. It'll be fun and poignant, restrained and effusive. And we'll eat burritos afterward.
Hope to see you there,
Mike Stavlund
