Advent Worship
In the midst of the grey days, the cloudy skies, the snow, and the darkness of winter, there is a tree that stands strong. An evergreen tree may shed a few needles and drop pine cones on the ground, but throughout every season, an evergreen tree stays green and grounded, resilient and unchanging.
An evergreen tree is a symbol for us during this Advent and Christmas season. If you, like me, enjoy having a real Christmas tree in your home, or if you pull out your tree from storage each year, the evergreen is a quiet reminder of the faithfulness of God in the midst of every season.
This Advent, as we bask in the glow of the lights shining on the evergreen, we will return to the birth stories of Christ, remember the power of God’s promises, rejoice and rest in what can be a frenetic and emotional time, and, through it all, prepare to receive the coming of the Christ child again this Christmas.
November 30 – Return

Christmas Eve at Saint Paul
