A NOTE FROM STEPHEN
December 8, 2022
Hey neighbors,
Do you know that research estimates that we make an average of 35,000 choices every day? Now, admittedly, some of these are unconscious choices, like which foot to start off with when you begin to walk. Not every choice is as consequential as, say, buying a house or deciding when to quit a job. 35,000 is still a lot. And for many of us, making choices can be a source of stress, anxiety, and much weeping and gnashing of teeth. This is one of the reasons that I value therapy as a tool to help me navigate the choices that I make, and that Tricia and I make together, that affect us, our family, this congregation, and my “neighborhood.”
But choices also hold within them the potential to faithfully follow the plan God has for us and our lives. Both together and individually, we make choices that affect not only ourselves but the generations that will follow us. Last Sunday we talked about how Mary’s choice was made by holding fear in one hand and holy curiosity in the other. This Sunday we’ll journey through Joseph’s side of the story and explore how his choice to be a surrogate father to God-with-us has affected the generations to follow.
We hope you’ll join us this Sunday at 10:00 A.M. as we celebrate the third Sunday of Advent (wow, this is going by fast, isn’t it?!). In other news, Martha Higgins and Maria Boulton, on behalf of our liturgical arts committee, made a beautiful new banner for our “From Generation to Generation” theme that will be dedicated in worship. I’m grateful to serve a congregation that loves liturgical art and worships not only with our mouths and ears but our eyes as well. God bless, y’all. See you Sunday.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Stephen
