Waiting Againhellip

What are you waiting for

-that great job to come along that elusive perfect relationship a text message

from a friend -an end to your pain -the restoration of a friendship -a refund

check -a new certification -a vacation or family visit hellipLike it or not all of us

wait

Advent is the Churchrsquos season of waiting Its name comes from the Latin ad-

ventus and means coming (The biblical Greek word is parousia) Because we

have been claimed in Christ we long for the day of Christrsquos coming again It has

been the abiding hope of the church since the earliest days More than getting

ready for Christmas we wait the coming of Godrsquos Messiah with anticipation

confidence and hope

One author put it this way

ldquoWaiting is essential to the spiritual life But waiting as a disciple of Je-

sus is not an empty waiting It is waiting with a promise in our hearts that

makes already present what we are waiting for We wait during Advent for

the birth of Jesus We wait after Easter for the coming of the Spirit and after

the Ascension of Jesus we wait for his coming again in glory We are always

waiting in the conviction that we have already seen Godrsquos footsteps

Waiting for God is an active alert -- yes joyful -- waiting As we wait we

remember him for whom we are waiting and as we remember him we create

a community ready to welcome him when he comesrdquo[1]

Please join the congregation in worship as we rekindle our anticipation our

hope our joy Letrsquos train our lives and hearts on what makes all our waiting

worthwhile

See you in worship

Warmly

The Christmas Joy Offering celebrates

the coming of Jesus Christ the ldquowondrous

giftrdquo of God with us Jesus arrived in a

humble stable in small insignificant

Bethlehem to lead and teach in truth and

love and bring about Godrsquos salvation to

the world What a wondrous gift indeed

This was a gift so profound that the only

response was the bringing of more gifts

The Magi arrived with gold frankincense

and myrrh to honor the Christ child

Devoted and caring leaders have led

many of us in the way of Christ They

have been church workers equipping us to

respond to the grace we have known in

Jesus Christ and they have been Godrsquos

gifts among us As we celebrate Christrsquos

coming and think of the profound impact

these individuals have had on us the

Christmas Joy Offering provides a way for

us to offer a gift in response Gifts to the

Christmas Joy Offering will raise up

leaders from small places that are too

often overlooked by the church The

historically Presbyterian racial ethnic

schools were founded to educate emerging

leaders from underrepresented groups so

leadership in the church would better

reflect the diversity of Godrsquos people

Half of the Christmas Joy Offering

supports the continued ministry of

educating and forming Christian leaders

The other half of the Offering honors

those leaders who serve and have served

us well Through the Assistance Program

of the Board of Pensions current and

retired church workers who experience

need because of tragedy health concerns

or financial hardship can receive

assistance from the church they have

served so well

In gratitude to God for the wondrous

gift of Jesus the Presbyterian Church

(USA) invites congregations to join this

celebration of Godrsquos presence with us by

supporting those in need of help and hope

Our church will observe the Christmas Joy

Offering through the season of Advent

You will find special envelopes in the

pews and in your offering envelope box

Please be in prayer for this offering

fees her green card was approved too

The first week of January 2016 after

two years of fighting for my case and

fighting a deportation order my green

card was approved

The only application that wasnrsquot

filed yet was Camilarsquos I was worried

because I didnrsquot have the way to pay

for Camiliarsquos fees to be able to adjust

her status But again a miracle

happened Camila made a Go Fund Me

account and in less than three days

members of this community and this

wonderful congregation put together

the $1850 needed to file her

paperwork In April Camilarsquos paper-

work was finally accepted by immigra-

tion and in September I received the

letter form USCIS saying that Camilarsquos

green card was approved I was crying

of happiness

All of you made this miracle

possible because of your help we are

not afraid anymore that an immigration

officer is going to knock on our door

and try to take our family from this

country

Because of your help our family now

can dream of a better life in this

wonderful country

I want to thank you for advocating

for my family to stay in the United

States

Until now we were only Americans

in our hearts but now as a result of the

help of this church this congregation

and the Fredericksburg community our

dream is one step closer the dream of

one day to become a citizen of the

United Sates of America As a mother

from the bottom of my heart I want to

thank you for making this dream come

true

I want to thank you for being a

strong advocate of the families in need

in the City of Fredericksburg Your

support makes a difference

A Word of Thanks

The following article was presented by Andrea Ilardia

as a stewardship moment in October 2016

On Christmas Eve 2010 my friend Tammy Hancock

invited us to attend the Christmas Eve service here at

this this church On that day I had no idea of the

impact this Church was going to have on my family

Since the first day I was amazed by the way our

church was involved in the community by the

commitment of the members of the church to help eve-

ryone who was in need Helping through a diversity of

programs like the Community Dinners Micah Food

Pantry School Dressing Days and many of the other

programs that this church has to help the families in our

area who are struggling to survive Most of the time

the only food these families get are what they receive

through the Food Pantry or through the Community

Dinners Many of the kids in our area are able to have

new clothes and school supplies thanks to School

Dressing Days Many people without a home are able

to survive the winter because of the support this church

gives to the homeless winter shelter Through theses

programs our church makes a big difference in the lives

of families in need

I know this for a fact because my family is one of the

families that received help

As many of you know when I started to attend this

church I was in the middle of a battle with the

Department of Homeland Security to stay in this

country The immigration laws are very complicated I

knew that I was going to need a miracle to be able to

stay in this country I firmly believe that God had a

plan for us he put my family in the Fredericksburg

community and in this wonderful church for a reason

This congregation many members of this community

and the Fredericks burg City Schools have been helping

us since the beginning

Because of your support writing letters to immigra-

tion signing petitions contacting congressmen and

senators advocating for us helping us when I didnrsquot

have a way to provide for my family

giving us strength when I thought that

everything was lost All this unconditional

support made this miracle finally possible

In September 2015 Belenrsquos green

card was approved in January 2016

and after the help this community

gave to pay for Florsquos immigration
