The Moscow United Methodist Church126 Church Street Office Phone: 570-842-7251Moscow, PA 18444 e-newsletter December 8, 2017 Advent is a season of “waiting.” It is a time of waiting for the Christ child tobe born anew in our hearts, for God to “create a new heaven and a new earth”and for Christ to come again and the reign of God come to this world. Advent tellsa story of pregnancy and birth, divine gift-giving, the fulfillment of promises madelong ago and a holy light growing ever brighter. In the Bible, angels are the beings who announce the fulfillment of God’spromises to his beloved people. The word “angel” initially meant messenger. ThisAdvent, we consider how the angels of the Christmas story are symbols of themessages we still need to hear and wake up to in our fearful time. Each week in worship this Advent we will hear an angel message – amessage of the fulfillment of God’s gifts of hope, peace, joy, love and new life inJesus Christ. Our hope is that in our hearing we can come to see the angelsamong us who continue to announce God’s saving goodness. Perhaps we too,will join with the angels to shine God’s light, show God’s love and invite God’sbeloved world to rejoice with us in the gift of Jesus.
