Advent three is when we light the candle of joy. With snow on the higher elevations, overflowing ditches, and a slippery parking lot, we look for joy.
We found it, inside at SPPC on Sunday morning. The sanctuary looks lovely with the flowers and candles and Christmas tree. We were had a larger-than-usual congregation too. Maybe they came seeking joy, or maybe they heard there was food. In any case, we had an uplifting worship service and a delicious pot-luck lunch afterwards.
There was plenty of food so all were welcome even if they forgot to bring a dish.
Here is our hard-working clerk of session getting a moment of rest. She sang the solo at worship, too.
The dessert table always gets a special look.
The sermon topic was "living water." At lunch, tea and coffee were in demand.
Speaking of joy

Before COVID changed everything, we often heard complaints of the busy-ness of Christmas and a wish for simpler things.
During this second Christmas in the Covid era, may you find simple joys fill your days as we await the birth of Christ, our source of all joy.
