Sunday, November 27th, the first day of the season of Advent, BEGINS the new Christian year. So, if Advent begins a new year, it might be worth pausing for a moment to consider the a different way of living in time. How might our world be different if we lived in sacred rhythm? What if we opened and closed our days in prayer?Truly took a Sabbath? Avoided getting swept into holiday frenzy by living Advent? I believe that it would open us up to once again hear the truly good news of Christmas.

Sunday, April 4th- Easter Day
- Pastor Tim
The Lazarus Life in Easter (by R.S.)
Lazarus heard the call, “come out”.
And rose from his bed of death
His spirit and his soul revived
And his lungs filled with breath
He heard the Word of God
The voice of the Holy One
The healing power of God
God’s only begotten Son
And from the tomb he came
Into the arms of His Lord
Freed from the chains of death
And fully, completely, restored
To live an eternal life
In joy and peace and love
To dwell with the Almighty
In the eternal realm above
Do you hear the call of God?
“Be free from the bonds of life
Be free from all fears and foes
Be free from terrors and strife”
Then Believe the Lamb of God
Believe in the Holy One
Heed the call “come out, come out”
Be freed by the Eternal Son
John 8:36
