Loving and Learning in Lodi December 22 2019

            Love is the theme of the candle on our Advent Wreath this week. As a congregation, we will receive a give of love, dedication and hard work by our choir. They will give us the loving gift of a Christmas Cantata called: Christmas, Night of Angels.
            As a pastor, I have hopes for each season of Advent. This year, my hope was that our times together would be beautiful as we waited and prepared to celebrate Jesus’ birth. The choir’s cantata is part of our Advent season being a beautiful time of worship and a time when we receive their loving gift of music…

                                                                          See you Sunday!                                                                                                                                             Pastor Diane
