Happy New Year!
A Sermon for the First Sunday of Advent

Happy New Year!
Last week Suzanne directed us to write down our new years resolutions and place them in the offering plate. That’s the way I heard. As we were making our stewardship commitments for the coming year, we were to write down a personal commitment related to our relationship with God or our involvement with the church. We then sealed our notes in envelops and placed them in baskets on the communion table. The notes will be mailed back to us in May so that we can see how well we have done. Suzanne also reminded us that last Sunday was the last Sunday of the church year, and this Sunday, today, marks the beginning of Advent and is the first Sunday of a new Church year. So, that’s why I greeted you, this morning with Happy New Year!
