Then Suddenly, It Was December!

Well, I can't be accused of spending too much time blogging and not enough time doing the rest of my work, I guess! We made it through November, though, and Charge Conference and Thanksgiving, and here we are, bringing the the new church year with Advent. I hope you are all preparing your hearts for Christmas during this Advent season, even though the world around us tells us it's practically Christmas already. As I've mentioned the last couple of Sundays, in the church, we are always waiting...waiting for Jesus to come again, even while we wait for Christmas and the celebration of his birth.

I hope to post again soon, sharing some more thoughts with you about this whole waiting thing, but until then, here's a look at what's going on on the Circuit in the next few weeks...
