I rejoice to be with you for the Divine Service today, which is the very special Sunday before Christmas. Saint John’s is a wonderful and vibrant community, and the very busy Sunday that we have today says it all! We have a Christmas Pageant, four Chrismations, an Artoklasia, a Forty Day Blessing, and prayers for two couples recently engaged! All this right before Christmas! Very busy indeed.
