What a wonderful Christmas Sunday! A foot of snow on the ground, the joy of seeing families brave the weather to come to corporate worship, and the unmistakable clue of Pastor Sam in "full regalia", donning his clergy robe and stole in keeping with the tradition of Christmas Sunday.
We heard the Christmas Story, but not in the usual sense. Pastor Sam took us on a trip that incorporated geography, imperial Rome, the requirements of worship in ancient Israel, and the question of our own role in knowing, hearing, and obeying God.
This week we will take time to revisit these themes, and I hope all of us will keep asking the hard questions that, when answered honestly, will help us to grow in our Christian faith.
For today, though, I'll ask that we all take time to read some of the passages that were mentioned during the sermon: Luke chapter 2, Leviticus chapter 12, and Exodus 13:2. (Of course there are others, but I'll just mention three for now- perhaps the others will be addressed in later blogs.)
Take care my friends!
