Your willingness to put it into words is all that is

necessary.” – Margaret Cousins

An updated wedding fee schedule was presented, discussed and approved.

From the Pastor : Pastor Brandon Foster

Mommy, I am too tired for devotions.

I love the season of Advent! It’s this time set aside to prepare for great gifts, but it’s also made to ready our hearts for new experiences of faith.

At our home, on our kitchen table, is a beautiful piece that helps us remember the remarkable joy to come in the season: the Advent wreath.

This decoration has a beautiful history that began in the 16th Century with German Lutherans. They wanted to create something to help all people anticipate Christ’s birth while pointing to the news that He will come again. What they created was a wreath that teaches us that when all hope seems lost, God is still at work shining His life that dispels the darkness. This wreath involves seven different pieces, each with great significance, that tell us a beautiful story of what God is up to in this season.

The first piece is the wreath itself. The wreath is circular, and it represents God’s infiniteness, and there is no breaking in His character or nature. Also, each of the pieces are attached and extend from this circular wreath, suggesting that every perfect gift comes from God.

The next piece is the candle holders on the wreath. There are 4 places to hold the candles with the total number of candles together symbolizes the 400 years that passed between the prophet Malachi to the birth of Jesus Christ. During these years, God was silent—still active, mind you—but after that time, He would be silent no more!

Next is the light of each candle. With the lighting of each candle more and more light displays itself. Before the first candle is lit, there is complete darkness; when the first candle is lit, light penetrates into the darkness lessening it. As more candles are lit, more and more darkness is dispelled, just as Jesus did by His coming!

The first candle lit is the Hope candle. This candle represents all the Old Testament prophecies about the coming of Jesus Christ and the hope of a coming Savior for the people of Israel.

The second candle lit is the Peace candle. This candle symbolizes the prophecies about Bethlehem being the city of David and the birthplace of the Savior. This world will find peace when the Savior comes!

The third candle is the Joy candle. This candle is the turning candle on the wreath and is distinguished in color for that reason (the others are traditionally blue or purple; this candle is pink). This candle represents a new anticipation of prophesy being fulfilled! It is also a different color as to turn our hearts from waiting on a Savior, with no indication of His coming, but to knowing that He is coming and letting our anticipation grow! Lastly, as two candles were lit previously to this one, there was still more darkness around the wreath. As this third candle is lit, more light is poured in to overpower the darkness; and this light is growing!

The fourth candle is the Love candle. This candle marks the announcement of Jesus birth and truth of God’s love for His people.

Now, the wreath has been lit, but there is one last candle to be lit. This is the center candle, the Christ candle. Christ is in the center because He is the center of God’s will. His candle shines the brightest of all the wreath candles and is at the center of all history! His birth came so that we could know His redemption. Without Christ’s sinless birth, He could not have been our sinless Savior. And without His birth, we would not know His death and resurrection. We have eager anticipation now to know Him and to await His return!

Every year we light this wreath with our children in our home to teach them about how God is always up to something to point us to Jesus. We love this tradition. May it be one you can learn and teach to others too as you wait in eager expectation for Jesus. Happy Advent and Merry Christmas to you!
