The 200's
A Snowy 2nd Sunday in Advent 2018 Greetings!
Pastor Josh & Sister Kristina 9 Dec 2018
In the early days of the church, Advent was a time of prayer, fasting & confession. Today, Advent is more a time of preparation & expectation of the coming of the Lord. Did you know the second advent candle has 3 different themes? Faith--to indicate the faith it took for Mary & Joseph to deal with the unexpected pregnancy & the trip to Bethlehem; Peace--for the peace promised to all mankind through the coming of the Savior; & the Bethlehem Candle pointing to the Savior's birth in a manger. He is coming again. Prepare!

Mon, 7 ~ Labor Day! The first Labor Day was held in 1882. Its origins stem from the desire of

the public to appreciate the work of the trade and labor organizations. (One of the
reasons for choosing to celebrate this on the first Monday in September was to add a
holiday in the long gap between Independence Day and Thanksgiving. )
