We kicked off our December month long series of Advent yesterday with Hope as the first of four traditional elements of Advent. It hit home even better than I had anticipated. Used a lot of scripture and once again confirmed that one definitely cannot underestimate the power of God's far-reaching word.
Also, it felt really Christmassy yesterday...I guess the beautiful decorations (done by my wife), the lit candles, the subtle apple-cinnamon scent and the Christmas songs contributed nicely to holiday feel. We also planned our Christmas dinner yesterday and am looking forward to all the new invited guests, who we will be inviting, joining us. We will be sending out invites this week to several guests with whom we have had contact--second time guests, festival attendees, etc.
This week will also be used to brainstorm for next year's sermon series.
Well, it's up and at 'em...
