November 27 marks the beginning of Advent and the start of a new church year. It is a time of waiting and anticipation as we move into the shortest days of the year, and see the new light that comes into the world as the Christ Child. As you gather this week for Thanksgiving, be mindful of the blessings that you have, and consider how you will live into the love of Jesus in the season ahead. Consider prayer, participation in worship, and volunteering as we look to joyfully seek and serve Christ. Contact The Rev. John Mennell to discuss further at mennell@slechurch.org.
