From the Pastor’s Study

November is a transition month. We began with falling leaves and end, possibly, with falling snowflakes. We celebrated All Saints Day on November 1st and we will observe the beginning of the season of Advent on November 29th, with the new church year focusing on the Gospel of Mark supplemented by the Gospel of John.

In between on Sunday, November 8th at 3:00pm, we host an exciting concert (our 3rd) by the BQE Strings, the proceeds supporting our own Carbon County veterans. See the announcement with the details.

Then on Sunday, November 22nd, on Christ the King Sunday, the last Sunday of the church year, we will welcome home the Rev. Sam Zeiser to our pulpit to help us celebrate Thanksgiving. Sam recently moved back to Pennsylvania from Tennessee and is now living in Gettysburg. Following the 10:30 am service, a luncheon will be served. Please sign up.

We will again be providing food boxes for needy people in our community for Thanksgiving.

To aid us in our Advent journey to Christmas, advent devotional booklets entitled, comfort and joy, will be available later this month.

December will bring a return to the Christmas Nativity Display (after a several years hiatus), the Bach and Handel Chorale Christmas concerts, a major push for Toys for Tots, Christmas dinner boxes, and, of course, the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service on Thursday, December 24th, at 7:00 pm.

As you can see there is much going on. Feel free to join us.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Bill
