Happy Thanksgiving! and Advent begins this Sunday!
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
As Episcopalians, we are people of Thanksgiving. It has been said that every service in our Book of Common Prayer, is a service of thanksgiving. No matter what our circumstances, we give thanks for God's love and devotion to us. We seek to be devoted to God in our thoughts, words, and deeds, but how often to we consider God's devotion to us?
One huge theme found in the Bible is that God never gives up on God's people, and does everything to be close to us. As we begin Advent this Sunday, we enter this time of reflection, waiting, preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ, God-with-us. If you are not traveling for Thanksgiving, I hope that you can be with us on Sunday morning at Holy Comforter for our celebration of the First Sunday of Advent. I will be inviting all the children, at the usual time of the Blessing of the Children, to come with me to the Advent Wreath, where we will light it together. Join us to celebrate God's great love for us and the whole world this Sunday!
Faithfully yours,
Hilary+
