AN ADVENT MESSAGE FROM ST. ANDREW'S


During the winter season there are great contrasts between warmth and cold, light and darkness which can even take us back to the primordial chaos from which our planet emerged.
 
The Advent Message tells us that Jesus' Good News is for all of us as the days become darker and in the darkness of our lives be it sickness, job loss, guilt, shame or any other woes that beset us.
 
We all need a message of hope which points to church growth principles for everyone as we remember that St. John the Baptizer's mission began with the outsiders and social misfits.
 
May we continue to have joy as we experience Jesus in our lives loving, listening, visiting and praying with all people especially as we listen to their hurts and invite them to walk with us in the church.  The light of Jesus' love will overcome the darkness in our lives and stop the chaos that can emerge if we walk with one another.
