Advent has arrived, and with it hopefully an opportunity for all of us to take a deep breath and remember all of the gifts we already have - before we worry about what gifts we need to buy! St. Paul's church is so blessed with people who care for one another, and also are careful to ensure that the things we possess are shared with others. Here are just a few photos from our Annual Church Thanksgiving meal. The first photo is of just a few of the baskets prepared to give to our Food Pantry clients. Those baskets are a wonderful example of the generosity of this community. The other photos that follow capture just some of the faces from our kitchen and dining hall as we gathered to enjoy one another.
As we begin to light the candles on our Advent wreaths, to eat the chocolates in our Advent calendars, to check off the names on our shopping lists, write cards, decorate and plan and more - let us pause for a moment and savor what is already here - a community of faith filled with love and acceptance. Perhaps the greatest preparation has already been done.
