Let it be to me...And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:38 Thy will, not mine be done. Easy to say…hard to do. Yet, in essence this is Mary’s response to God’s invitation to bear his son. Faced with impossibility, Mary chooses to hold on to faith. Faith that God will do the impossible. Where does life feel impossible to you right now. What are you facing that seems out of reach by human standards? God longs for his Son to be born in us, in the here and now, in the midst of all our impossibilities. What if you were to turn your whole life and will over to the care of a God who loves you beyond imagination? Imagine the transformation that might occur if we dared to speak as Mary does…in great humility…“Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”
Blessings,
Matthew+ Purify our conscience, Almighty God, by your daily visitation, that your Son Jesus Christ, at his coming, may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. BCP p. 212 |

| Cranmer Dinners It’s hard to believe that Christmas is days away and what better way to celebrate the season than with our next Cranmer Dinner on the 29th of December. St. John’s is the host for this dinner and we have a few needs: - We will meet in the church (not chapel) kitchen at 10:00 am on December 29 to construct the stew
- We need rolls and desserts
- We need volunteers for set-up/serve (4:00 to 6:00 pm) and serve/clean-up (6:00 to 8:00 pm) on the 29th
Also, if possible, could you please let us know many rolls and desserts we can expect from St. John's parishioners so we know how many to get from Costco (you can email us here). Thanks, and Merry Christmas to all! Janet & Ned |
