Message from Mrs. Barnhouse

Dear Faith Families,

As you read this newsletter, I am traveling to Texas with my mom, helping to get her settled in her “winter home”.  This is a trip she and my dad used to make together, and it is a bittersweet blessing that I now get to do this with her.  

Advent is a time of preparation.  A time of preparing for the infant Jesus and also for His 2nd coming.  Sometimes it is the preparation for an event or a trip that stresses us out…so many things to do, what do I need to pack, what if I miss something important, what if X, Y, or Z happen while I’m gone?  It’s easy to get caught up in the details and lose sight of why we are preparing…what’s actually important.

Jesus is calling you to focus on Him…that’s what is important during Advent.  It’s not the decorations or the traditions we think we must do.  It’s Him and preparing our hearts to welcome Him.  May you take the time this Advent season for your family to focus on Him through worship and prayer time.
