The youth will be leading the service this Sunday! Thanks to Morgan for coordinating the youth involvement. Maya will deliver the sermon; Tenley will sing a solo; and the youth will present the Christmas pageant. Sunday is about that odd pink/rose candle in the Advent wreath – Gaudete (Latin for “Rejoice”) Sunday. Advent used to be a more penitential season, so by the third Sunday some relief was in order! Everyone was given a break to experience some Christmas joy. We no longer experience Advent in this way, but a few vestiges remain, such as not singing Christmas carols during Advent. I love the carols so much I could never do that. The sermon Sunday is titled “How Can We Rejoice?” and is based on Mary's Magnificat in Luke 1. At the end of the sermon, Ann will sing the Magnificat. It should be a great service! Thanks to all the youth for making it happen!
