"Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch."

Mark 13:33-34

  

Advent is a time of watchfulness and preparation. Stay alert for opportunities to share the love of Christ with others!

 

Peace of Christ Always,

 

George
