Each Sunday in Advent is celebrated with a theme and a candle lighting in the sanctuary. Recently, the contrast between silence and noise were addressed at the beginning of the church service. In the midst of this season, pray for opportunities to listen for the Lord and speak of His love.
Women of the congregation, along with friends from the community, joined together in unity on Tuesday, December 3rd.
An evening of delectable desserts and fellowship was enjoyed by more than 170 women in the CLC.
The planning team designed the program to highlight Jesus as the Star of Unity. An invitation to students and faculty from Hartford Elementary, provided welcome "Advent Noise" to the evening. Ten students in the Morning Music program at Hartford performed three delightful songs on xylophones, uniting community neighbors with church members and friends.
Holy Trinity Quilters donated several quilts to the raffle as well as a generous assortment donated to the families of Hartford Elementary.
The deep blue of Advent is meant to inspire in us the hope of faith, and to encourage us to keep watch for the promised light of Christ to break over the horizon, changing night into day, darkness into light, and filling our lives and our world with a holy and righteous splendor.
We need both silence and noise to journey through Advent. The joy of fellowship is especially sweet and the tranquility of silence allows us to ponder the treasures of this season.
"Prepare the way of the Lord." - Matthew 3:3
