FIRST SUNDAY OF CHRISTMAS
The psalmist calls on the natural world, celestial bodies, fire and earth, creatures, and all
humanity, to praise God. The voices of Simeon and 84-year-old Anna join the chorus today, recognizing what God is doing in Jesus. Simeon’s song is often sung after
communion, for we have seen God’s salvation in the assembled community and have held Jesus in our hands in the bread. Then, like the prophet Anna, we tell of Jesus to all
who look for the healing of the world.
Luke 2:22-40 Luke’s narrative continues with stories that emphasize Jesus’ connection to Judaism. His family is devout in its observance of the law, and Jesus himself is
recognized as one who will bring glory to Israel.

Spirit Notes 2020
Joy does not come from positive predictions about the state of the world.
It does not depend on the ups and downs of the circumstances of our
lives. Joy is based on the spiritual knowledge that, while the world in
which we live is shrouded in darkness, God has overcome the world.
Jesus says it loudly and clearly: “In the world you will have troubles,
but rejoice, I have overcome the world.”
The surprise is not that, unexpectantly, things turn out better that
expected. No, the real surprise is that God’s light is more real than all
the darkness, that God’s truth is more powerful than all human lies,
Thanks to everyone who came to the meeting and to all who voted! The 2021 budget was approved, and the following slate was approved. President - Tom Propst; Vice

Thank you for the lovely plant and gift card. What a wonderful surprise. It has been a joy to serve as your president and on Council these past years. The Council members
always “showed up,” and were thoughtful and diligent decision-makers as they worked
