Join in worship every Sunday morning as we continue in our seasonal series “What child is this?” This Sunday’s focus is Jesus, the Given One.  Our “Brown Bag Bible studies” continues tomorrow and every Monday in Advent, from 12 noon to 1 pm in the Fellowship Room (off the kitchen) with a weekly look at the “Advent sections” of the Bible.
Head to Heart Adult Education continues this Sunday (and continues through December 20) in an exploration of Martin Luther’s theology and practice, in ministry to the poor and powerless. This lesser-known aspect of Luther’s pastoral ministry was part of a synod workshop on November 21 which our ARISE (Renton homeless men feeding program) leadership team is attended. The class will be an introduction and review of the book “Luther and the Hungry Poor” by PLU professor Dr. Samuel Torvend. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join in the learning and discussion, at 9 am in the Modular building across the parking lot.

Another week has passed.
And there’s more darkness.
We were just leaving worship last Sunday when we heard about the senseless murder of the four police officers in Parkland. We woke up Monday morning to hear the news that Maurice Clemmons had been shot dead in South Seattle. And the week which has followed has brought words of deep mourning, as well as tales of conspiracy to keep both crime and criminal hidden.
Tuesday we heard our President tell us of the continuing darkness of Al-Queda and international terrorism, but also that more soldiers … husbands, wives, children, friends and family … would be going to Afghanistan to fight in that almost ten year long war.
Closer, here, our prayer list this week has brought us word of trials, difficulties and illness in and among our own faith community.
Outside, the days grow shorter, the shadows fall earlier … the darkness increases, and the nights are bitterly cold.
And we need a word of True Hope.

We have two dates this year - Friday, Dec. 18 from 5-9PM, and Wednesday, Dec. 23 from 11AM-5PM.  Please let Greta know if you are interested in helping out.  Borders provides all the wrap and supplies; you just need to show up.  Shift lengths will depend on how many people sign up.  All donations go to Nativity youth and drama programs.
