Thanks to David Thompson for sending me a powerpoint with some excellent shots of our Putz. I made a video from it, added a little Messiah music, and uploaded it to YouTube here: 

(sorry about the ads google puts there – we have no control over that. Just click the X when the first one appears and they’ll go away)

This Sunday Is The Second Sunday In Advent

Posted on by

This Sunday, December 4, is the second Sunday in Advent!

Holy Communion will be served at both services: 8:30 and 11:00 AM.

Not familiar with Advent? From Wikipedia:

Advent (from the Latin word adventus meaning “coming“) is a season observed in many Western Christian churches, a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. It is the beginning of the Western liturgical year and commences on Advent Sunday.

The progression of the season may be marked with an Advent calendar, a practice introduced by German Lutherans… For Christians, the season of Advent serves as a reminder both of the original waiting that was done by the Hebrews for the birth of their Messiah as well as the waiting of Christians for Christ’s return.
