We are excited to see the excavation company continue their work on developing the site of our future Worship and Community Center. During the first few weeks, they have concentrated on putting in the proper drainage materials in the ground for the future development of the site. In the picture above you can see some of the recent work that has been done near our church sign located on Remick Blvd.
Following Christmas, it took us a while to remove the Christmas Eve Celebration Sign. And yet today, we removed the sign and are looking forward to the future with anticipation as we begin a New Year. While thinking about moving beyond the Christmas season, I came across the following prayer that I hope will be an encouragement to the reader:
Post Christmas Prayer
Long after the angels disappear into the heavens, the shepherds return to their flocks, the magi journey home, the great star sets, Jesus remains.
The Child in whom we rediscover God’s grate love for humanity becomes the adult Redeemer who challenges us to imitate his selflessness and compassion in order that we might transform our world in love.
May we allow the miracle of Christmas to continue long after the holiday trappings have been packed away.
May we welcome the adult Messiah and his challenging Gospel to recreate our lives making the peace, justice, and hope of this holy season a reality in very season of the New Year!
