1 St. Bartholomew s Anglican Church Our Vision: To see lives transformed through a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Mission: To share Christ s love and His Word with our community and the world through Christ-centered outreach, worship, prayer, and biblical study. VOLUME 59, Number 12 The Chatter DECEMBER 2016 IT'S THE SEASON OF ADVENT - ARE YOU READY? The Christmas holiday season has begun - or should I say the Christmas holiday rush and stampede is upon us! It's what our world would have us believe. But this is the season of Advent - a time of holy preparation for the celebration of both Christmas and the anticipation of Christ's Return! It is supposed to be a quiet time of reflection and introspection of our own spiritual lives; a time to seek the Lord and see where we can get more in tune with His priorities. And yet, it is probably the most difficult thing to do during this season. Isn't it interesting how the world always seems to do the opposite of what Christ desires? In Mt. 3:1, we read that "John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Did you know that Jesus used those same words to begin His ministry? "Repent" means to change your mind or to change direction in your heart. It specifically was used in relation to one's wrong doing. Therefore, when the LORD calls on us to repent, we are not only to change what we are doing wrong but to seek to do what is right. Where are you going wrong in your life? There is only one remedy. Christ says, "Repent!" It is the perfect way to be always ready for Him! In Spirit and Truth, Fr. Ward St. Bart's Web Information Also see our Facebook page for more! St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church 2368 Eggert Road Tonawanda, NY Phone: (716)

15 My Christmas List of Blessings My Christmas list is more than just a way to keep track of the special people God has brought into my life to love. It s like a treasured scrapbook filled with pleasant memories of all the times God s answered prayer through friends and family. Every name s a touchstone that leads to a place and time Where God has used another s heart to reach out and touch mine. It may have happened years age, or even yesterday. But every person on my list has changed my life some way. Through simple conversation, warm hug or a shared meal, Every person on my list has helped me grow or heal, Or laugh or love or learn or smile the blessings never end As God allows our paths to cross as family and friends. So please know that this greeting is more than a Christmas wish. It s a thank you card to God for putting on my list Each and every one whose name I ve come to hold so dear Those who ve shown me Christmas joy each day throughout the year. Blessings for a God-filled Christmas and New Year. 15
