That’s what we’re all doing, this Advent and always! (This will be a bit of theme for us in coming weeks, on the heels of Sarah’s great sermon last week.  Know that at Eden we’re committed to deepening in grace and truth about this, and in Christ-like compassion for one another and this world.  That’s what Sunday’s confession from John 1 stirs in me.

I savored a brief time away on retreat this week in the south suburbs, part work and part rest.  It was a nourishing balance and deeply needed at the early days of Advent and a busy season.

My heart is full with anticipation about many things, including some holiday spirit at Eden this weekend.  Hope you’ll stop by to enjoy a little holiday cheer and explore the vendors and Girl Scout tables, as well as the raffle items (and 50/50 raffle!) and spaghetti sauce frozen just for you!  For sure, we can use a couple volunteers Sunday morning at 11am or 3-5pm. Spread the Word!

In Christ’s Peace,
Jacki
