Pastor Toensing
During
this month of Advent and Christmas, we are going to focus a lot on
light. Reflecting light, star light, rising light, and so on. Why?
Why so much talk about something so every day and common?
Isaiah 9:2 explains it: "The people who walked in darkness have
seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on
them has light shone."
This month we await and then celebrate the coming of The Light of the world—Jesus Christ. He came as a baby, but He is our Savior Who illuminates our world and brights the light of life and salvation in the midst of darkness. This Advent and Christmas may the light of Christ shine on you and give you the hope and assurance of His eternal light. (Read in full here..)

Christ in Word & Sacrament
The
season of Advent focuses on the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
this first Sunday establishes this theme for the rest of the season.
The Son of God came long ago to be our Savior, “a righteous Branch”
descended from David (Jer. 33:15). As He then came into Jerusalem,
riding on a lowly donkey to sacrifice Himself for the sins of the
world (Luke 19:28–40), so does He come to His Church today in the
humility of Word and Sacrament to deliver the fruits of His Passion:
the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
