Greetings from Peace Lutheran Church!
December is flying by and our Advent season will soon turn to a Christmas celebration! And if you’re wondering about another way to mark these special holy days, tomorrow (December 13) is Santa Lucia Day, a commemoration of St. Lucia. She was an early Christian martyr from the 4th Century who was killed for her faith. Her name “Lucia” is derived from the Latin word “lux,” which means “light.” It’s a fitting name for this season in which we celebrate hope, life, and light during the darkest days of the year.
This Sunday morning we’ll continue our own festivities at Peace. We’ll start with worship on Sunday morning where we’ll hear a reading from the prophet Isaiah and the “Highway of Holiness” that we’re traveling on during our Advent journey. Afterward we’ll have treats in the Fellowship Hall before we return to the sanctuary for the annual Children’s Christmas Program (11:00am). What a beautiful way to celebrate the 3rd Sunday in Advent! And then on Wednesday night we’ll come together again for our final Advent Midweek Supper and Service.
See you Sunday morning!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Jeff Engholm
