This Sunday January 5th the Second Sunday after Christmas the sermon is entitled, “Are You Gonna Finish That?” The scripture is Matthew 2:1-6 and It involves the visit of the “wise men” to Jesus.
The sermon will contrast their finishing their task to others who did not/will not. One of the illustrations is the painting of Leonardo di Vinci entitled, “The Adoration of the Magi.” He never finished the massive painting. It is on display in the Uffizi Museum in Florence, Italy. I was fortunate to be able to see it on my first visit to Florence.
I look forward to seeing you on Sunday. I hope you had a safe and happy New Year!

John 3:14-17
This Sunday December 29th the First Sunday after Christmas the sermon title is Daddy Had a Fight With the Christmas Tree.
It is really worth it? Are all the things we do to get ready worth the effort and expense?
I maintain that, as my friend the late Bishop Bob Spain once said, “Would you plan a party without making the punch?”
I guess the concept of “punch” is a bit outdated; but we all know what that is.
We hope to see you at Worship.
Blessings your way.

This Sunday December 15th the Third Sunday of Advent the sermon title is Smack Dab in the Middle. The scripture is John 20:24-29.
The central message is about how the birth of Jesus occurred in the middle of a history that had been hoping for Him, but didn’t really expect him.
In addition, Jesus arrived in the middle of a world mess. It is similar to today: the birth of Jesus occurs in the middle of all that is going on–perhaps too much.
We hope to see you at Worship.
Blessings your way.
