CAROLYN’S CORNER

There is a deep spiritual hunger within all of us. It is a hunger of having known once, long before, a very precious truth that has somehow slipped from our grasp. It is our human condition and so we spend a lot of time groping on our hands and knees in the dark, hoping to find a light that will reveal the meaning of life. Other times we chase after whatever earthly treasure that might fill the void. Whether chasing or groping, we yearn for a lantern to illuminate our path. What we need is Emmanuel, the Light of the World, to come to us and reveal truth and meaning. And that perhaps is what Advent is about. Advent is the season that reminds us that the earthly trinkets we mistake for treasure we’ve been seeking isn’t the true treasure after all.   The treasure we seek is found in Christ who is our Hope, Peace, Joy and Love.

This season I will have a sermon series based on the traditional Advent Candles.

Advent 1, November 30: Hope Advent 2, December 7:  Peace Advent 3, December 14: Joy Advent 4: December 21: Love

Please worship with your family at Pine Valley this Advent as we re-discover the treasures of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. Grace and Peace,

Pastor Carolyn
