Advent starts this Sunday, and for centuries Christians all over the world have observed advent in their pre-Christmas literature. It was not started by the early church because unlike Easter we don’t even know what time of year that was. But it has been an important teaching moment to remind us or teach us the whole message of Christmas. This Sunday I will begin the series with the candle of hope. I have a couple of extra special surprises for you if you choose to come worship in-person or online with us.

I know you will be astonished and lifted by the services this week. Our music has been getting better and better all the time. And that is splendid because we want those worshiping with us to so be close to God that we all can’t help but be empowered to live the amazing life that God has planned for each of us. We will see you there.

Free Eastern Washington eggnog for those who wish.

Your friend for the rest of my life,

Pastor Tim White
