PASTOR’S MESSAGE
Advent and Christmas have kept us all very busy. As always, it has been a privilege and joy
for me to share it with the people of Friedens.
The Christmas readings provoke in me the familiar images ….of people walking in darkness,
seeing a great light…of God coming to us as a baby in a lowly manger…of Isaiah’s prophesy proclaimed in the magnificent title’s of Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Inside this issue:
Father, Prince of Peace. The power of these images in the biblical texts is that we are

when we are dealing with the formidable distractions that come with the secular and

cultural demands of the holiday.
That is why I think it’s important look back on what we have seen and heard throughout
Christmastide….and as we embark on another year marked by the secular calendar….try to
incorporate a “new song” into our everyday lives. It is the one place where I think that the
secular calendar and church calendar fit together very nicely. From Christmas to New
