Greetings Church Family,
It is with great joy that I write to you this month... a new church year is beginning with the Advent Season and it is an exciting time of year in the church. Each Sunday we get to look forward to different church members and families lighting the Advent Wreath during worship. We get to enjoy the beautifully decorated sanctuary and the good company of our students who have been away from home for the semester. We will share good times and food and talents with the Festival of Tables and then the Joy Gift Dinner and Music.
Most of all we are able to come together as a church family to worship and enjoy fellowship as we hear the familiar stories of the coming of the Christ Child. I pray that we will all make a renewed effort to be together this season... It is the time of year when families of all shapes and sizes gather to share gifts and meals and stories. Church should be no different... our TPC family has many gifts to share, great food to enjoy, and incredible stories to be told.
Come to the table this Advent and Christmas season... come as you are, children of God, to the home where you will always be welcome. God's house is your house and the family of God is your family! Come on home for the holidays!
