Sunday December 6. We appreciate Sophee and Siblee Evans helping with our music today. We still had several out due to Covidl9 exposure. We are thankful for all those that came for the inside service and those outside in their vehicles listening to the service. Bro. Joe Evans read from Isaiah 9-Birth and Reign of the Prince of Peace. For the worship service Bro Joe spoke from John 1:1-4 on “Jesus is the Light” a message we all needed to hear during these trying times. For the evening service the “Lord’s Supper” was observed closing with the Hymn ‘Bless Be the Tie That Binds.’

Our prayers continue for Janice Hand, Gwen Jones, Jimmy and Karen Brazzell, Marie Jordan,

For the second Sunday of Advent, the Church gives us the example of St. John the Baptist as how we should prepare for the Lord. Advent focuses on preparing for the coming of the Lord at Christmas, but, also, on the return of the Lord on Judgment Day. St. John the Baptist is a perfect example for both.

The community of St Paul’s continues in Sunday Eucharist with the special caution that an increasing rate of virus spread requires. We shall, both in church and in many homes, light three candles of the Advent wreath and joyously continue our celebration of this season.

Joyfully, but with the restraint that consideration of our neighbors requires. Sometimes, that’s difficult, for celebration is so much a part of Christmas, just as it is essential to every human heart. The Third Sunday of Advent is traditionally Gaudete Sunday. Gaudete, a Latin word meaning Celebrate! or Rejoice!, both in the imperative: You Rejoice! The word has come to contemporary use in the word gaudy, though the meaning has changed. The Dorothy Sayers novel Gaudy Night carries the original meaning.
