Advent greetings, dear friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week we observed the second Sunday of Advent, a day often associated with faith. This Sunday (12\/15), the third Sunday of Advent, is associated with joy. Each week of Advent, we light a candle in the Advent wreath which symbolizes the drawing near of Christ. I encourage you to be intentional about making time during this busy season to pause and reflect with genuine anticipation upon the impact Christ has on your own hope, faith. and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special Offering for Medical Debt Relief <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Medical debt has become a crippling burden to many in our country, and we have the opportunity to offer some relief to those within Rogers county. If you wish to contribute to this special seasonal project, simply designate your offerings as “medical debt relief” and\/or place them directly into the little hospital offering house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will continue to collect special funds to contribute to medical debt relief for local families through Sunday, December 29, and, as added incentive, the Bishop’s Committee has agreed to match up to $1,000 of the funds given for this special offering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To read more about this debt relief program, visit Undue Medical Debt \u2014 Donor-powered medical debt relief, liberating everyday people.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let Us Pray<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have prayer requests to add to the Newsletter, email them to Clergy@stpaulsclaremore.org<\/a>\u00a0or text them to +1-844-920-9109<\/p>\n\n\n\n Save the Dates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n St. Paul’s Online<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Check us out!
