From Generation to Generation
Advent blessings to you! Grace and Peace in the name of Jesus Christ! I was deeply saddened I was not able to be with you all on the First Sunday of Advent. Thanks be to God for such a fabulous staff and the gifts of Pastor Erin!
During this first week of Advent, I share with you an introduction to our Advent theme Generation to Generation. I invite you to read the first seventeen verses of the Gospel of Matthew. As you read, pay close attention to each name listed. Reflect on the names you read and your name. If you were to list your genealogy, whose names would you include? I pray this Advent reflection brings you new insight to who Jesus is and the Christ child we hope for this advent season! 
I am grateful for our Director of Music and Worship Art, Alicia, as she so beautifully captured the faces of the generations represented in our church family! There is indeed room for every story! 
Faithfully,
Neeley Rentz Lane
