Worship from Sunday Dec. 7, 2008 celebrating the 2nd Sunday in Advent.  I did not get to prepare as well as I would have liked for this Sunday, but I hear that some people liked the fact I did not preach from notes.  In any case I share this sermon with you with humility and grace and hope that Advent is a time of preparation for a stellar Christmas.

Note: A few thoughts about the sermon this week.  Using a critical eye I thought it was to long this week so in the future I will work to correct this.  I also felt that the connections between song and sermon point was not as strong as I had planned it.  I enjoyed singing for you and there were many places I thought I did a good job.  All in all it was a fun sermon and I hope to try to do something like it again in the next few months.  Thank you to everyone who responded to this sermon in such a positive light.  I hope that as we continue to work together that I will improve and find new and interesting ways to connect with you.

God's Peace,
