1 THE RESPONSIVE READER PASTOR S PAGE DECEMBER 2017 Church Family, It s the most wonderful time of the year. We are entering Advent and Christmas seasons. During Advent, we await the coming of Christ, both the birth of Jesus and the return of Jesus. At Christmas, we celebrate Emmanuel, God with us, and what that means for us. What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 Perhaps you are like me and have experienced separation from your loved ones in your life. Your loved ones may be you cousins you were close to growing up, friends you haven t spoken with in years, or a neighbor you have just been too busy to stop and have coffee with. The cause of this separation may have just been life gradually pulling you away from each other, perhaps something happened that has created bitterness between you, or maybe it was something else. The beautiful thing about Emmanuel is that it brings all together in God. God can reconcile long lost friends, bitter family members, or even strangers. This is the good news that Christmas brings, that in Jesus, we can all be together celebrating the Savior of the world. We do this together as a family, the family of Christ gathered together by the Holy Spirit to bring us home to the Father. This time of the year makes us think about home. Whether it is the way home used to be when we were children or what it will be like this year. Home is a place where we can be with others whom we share mutual love and care for. This Advent season, let us invite people to come home for Christmas. Invite the community, your friends, and family home to our church through your Christmas greeting cards, cookies, and other gifts of love and care. As Christians we rely upon love of God that we may share love with all others, no matter our history together or lack thereof. Your Servant in Christ, Rev.
