Southminster This Week

Advent


Friends, 

As we enter the Advent season we pause amid our busy schedules to remember the reason for the season. In this email you will find many fellowship and worship events to attend in the coming weeks, but for now I will leave you with this poem for Advent by Madeline  L'Engle from her book "Winter Song": 

He did not wait till the world was ready, 
till men and nations were at peace.
He cam when the Heavens were unsteady,
and prisoners cried out for release.

He did not wait for the perfect time.
He came when the need was deep and great.
He dined with sinners in all their grime,
turned water into wine. He did not wait 

till hearts were pure. In joy he came
to a tarnished world of sin and doubt.
To a world like ours, of anguished shame
he came, and his Light would not go out. 

He came to a world which did not mesh,
to heal its tangles, shield its scorn. 
In the mystery of the Word made Flesh
the Marker of the Stars was born.

We cannot wait till the world is sane
to raise our songs with joyful voice,
for to share our  grief, to touch our pain,
He came with Love: Rejoice! Rejoice!

Peace,

Rev. Caitlin Deyerle
