Jesus often made a point by contrasting two strongly marked antitheses. Luke 9.46-48 is one such instance, and it shepherds us, this time of year especially, to the space between Advent and Christmas.

Time to Decorate the Sanctuary!
This coming Sunday, November 22, we'll decorate the sanctuary for Christmas at 3pm! The Christian Education Team will do craft-making for the younger kids downstairs while everyone else decorates upstairs. Come and sew visual seeds of the Spirit!
