Dear friends in Christ

I have a hard time reading novels. The problem isn’t that I don’t like to read. I do! Anyone who’s peeked in my office will see the stack of books languishing on my desk. The problem is my total lack of patience. If I like the story, I’ll get about a quarter of the way through the book and then jump to the end to see what happens. Or worse yet, go to any of the myriad online sources and read through the summary of the whole thing. I know it will ruin the experience, and yet I still do it more often than not.

December 1 marks the beginning of Advent. For much of our society, the “Christmas Season” has begun – with Christmas songs on the radio and Christmas decorations up in stores and the pressure to buy our gifts and plan our festive meal. And while there’s wisdom in celebrating the season, we’re tempted to jump to the end of the Advent story – to Christmas – without reading through the story itself.

So I encourage you to embrace the Advent season. Embrace the Christian season of waiting and preparation. Instead of rushing ahead to the end of the story, take the time to read the Psalms and the prophets. Practice waiting with the children of Israel in the long dark times they experienced as they hoped against hope for a messiah. Because their anticipation is our anticipation, as we wait the fulfillment of Christ’s promise to return.

Advent reminds us how important it is for our faith to practice waiting. To engage in the difficult spiritual practice of hope. Too often we don’t know where our hope comes from. In Advent we rest and waiting together while we prepare our hearts for the coming of the Light, that will dispel not only the world’s darkness, but our own. Advent gives us the opportunity to live into that hope, knowing that just as surely as Christmas comes on December 25th, the Light of the World will return someday, too.

Blessings on each and every one of you and your loved ones during this season of waiting, hope, and joy,

In Christ, Pastor Aaron Twait

Serving God and Serving our Community

At Christ Episcopal Church we believe Christ is calling us to be a renewed body in a changing world.  Empowered by the Spirit of God, we deepen our bonds with Christ and with one another in a community where all are accepted.

Wherever you are in your life with God—whether a hesitant searcher or a regular church goer—we invite you to worship with us and to make Christ Church your spiritual home.

We are committed to strengthening our faith and supporting each other on our spiritual journeys. We use our gifts and talents to follow Christ's teachings. We are bound together by love and fellowship, not by dogma or rigid beliefs. We meet, not at the table of the church, but at the table of our Lord, and we meet in love.

We are a welcoming mix of Christians with diverse accomplishments, backgrounds and opinions.   

We worship.    We celebrate.   We question.   We listen.   We study.   We pray.   We Serve.

Come to Christ Church. Add your voice—add your heart—to our worship. Sing the hymns with us. Pray the prayers. Everyone is welcome at Jesus’ table.

Thank you for sharing your worship with us. 

May the peace of God fill your heart and mind, and the Blessing of God Almighty—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit—be with you, and remain with you, always.
