Post December 23
I write this on the date I have learned to call "Little Christmas Eve". If you have time to visit out blog in this overwhelming season, I hope that you find here words that bring to your Christmas new hope and faith, more peace and love. May your observance of the Nativity of Our Lord be filled with joy and awe at who God has become.

Beginning on December 25 we count the 12 days of Christmas to January 5th.
January 1st is the Feast of the Name of Jesus (Named and circumcised 8 days from birth).
It is also the 1st Sunday of Christmas.
Worship at 10:30. Steve preaches. Holy Communion is celebrated.
January 6th is the Feast of the Epiphany, one of the six principal festivals of the church year.
On this day we in the western church observe the manifestation of the Christ to the Gentiles, to the nations beyond Israel, and we do that through the story of the magi. So we celebrate the coming of the wise men, looking for the child whose star has led them far from home. This festival is a festival of lights, for the Light "that lightens the Gentiles" has come into the world One tradition on this day is to burn Christmas trees, which can be very amazing, if you put a lot of them together! (the most we have ever burned at once is 103!!). We also light fire works fountains and think of stars raining fire. On this day also, the wise men from the creche make it to the manger at last. In the church right now, the manger scene is on the dinner table (made of wood so the kids can touch it) and the wise men are over in the window by the altar, on their journey yes, but with a long ways to go yet....through Jerusalem and past wily Herod....to find the place where the baby lay.

November 8
Winter is definitely letting us know it is on its way to stay here in northern Idaho, with skiffs of snow and lots of frost and freezing. But the tamaracks are as golden as any summer day and their presence across the hills and mountains and along the road sides brighten our way, like tall candles sticks on the altar of the world. We hope that wherever you are, the gifts of God will touch your life with beauty and that in the midst of any pending winter of grief or sorrow you will see shafts of living light pointing to heaven and piercing your darkness; like the tamarack trees glowing here.
