First Sunday in Advent, November 27th, 2022
We typically associate "New Year's Day" with January 1st. But for the Church, "New Year's Day" is actually the First Sunday of Advent. On this day we begin a brand new Church year. The "New Year" represents new beginnings. In many ways, the "New Year" symbolizes a fresh start. The "New Year" represents a "clean slate" where everything starts over and begins anew. This can be true for the new Church year as well, it seems to me. Thus, I suggest that we dedicate this coming year to God. If you have not already done so, dedicate your life to God. Give your heart to God. Make Him the top priority in your life. So often we dedicate our life and everything we doin life to our careers, to finding joy and happiness, to getting rich, etc. The list goes on and on and it is different for every person. But so often we are disappointed in life, despite our best actions. But when you have a relationship with God you will never be disappointed. When you have a relationship with Our Blessed Saviour you will never be alone. When you have a relationship with Him, you will find a true feeling of fulfillment that the world cannot offer. What the world has to offer is fading. Beauty fades away. Riches are lost. Fame is fleeting. And yet it is the love of God which lasts forever. It is the love of God which never fades. Give your heart to God. Make Him the true King of your life.
St. Margaret Church worships every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM at the Chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.
NOTE: Keep in mind that we must enter in the main entrance of the lobby and sign in before we go to the chapel.
Please Join us as we gather together as God's family to: hear the Word of God; listen as God speaks to each one of us in our hearts; worship God in song and in word; listen to the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer; and, finally, receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion so that we can be nourished for the journey we call life. Take one hour out of your busy schedule to worship God, to honour God, to acknowledge the need for God in your life.
