  • Wishing on a Star”
    “Wishing on a Star” Epiphany of Our Lord Saturday and Sunday, January 6 and 7, 2018 All Services Sister Marianne Brock Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church Camp Hill, Pennsylvania Isaiah 60:1-6; Ephesians 3:1-12; Matthew 2:1-12 You may or may not know that Pastor John Brock and I have what some might consider an unusually strong affinity for Walt Disney, the man, and Walt Disney World, the resort, so when I was sent the theme chosen for this week’s sermon, I had to blink back the Pixie Dust in my eyes. I even watched Pinocchio, from which we get the song “When You Wish Upon A Star. It was darker than I remembered, with lots of drinking and smoking and liberal use of the word “stupid.” I’m not sure it’s entirely appropriate for today’s young children … and it certainly wasn’t helpful in my sermon preparation. But on Monday evening, around 6:30, John and I were in our kitchen preparing our traditional New Year’s Day meal… and by “preparing,” I mean we were studying the Chinese take-out menu. Our dogs alerted us to something incredibly alarming: there was someone at our front door, and it was probably bad guys! (Our dogs are very concerned about bad guys.) No one uses our front door, not even us, but sure enough, there was a gentleman standing on our porch, and he was knocking on our door. He didn’t look like a bad guy, so I pulled the dog beds away from the door and unlocked it with the ancient skeleton key that came with it when it was installed 80 years ago.

May God continue to bless our congregation and its leadership as we continue to follow Christ into the world to bring healing, wholeness and peace among our people. -Pastor Barry 2020 There was once a poor Mexican girl called Pepita who had no present to give the the baby Jesus at the Christmas Eve Services. As Pepita walked to the chapel, sadly, her cousin Pedro tried to cheer her up. 'Pepita', he said "I'm sure that even the smallest gift, given by someone who loves him will make Jesus happy." Pepita didn't know what she could give, so she picked a small handful of weeds from the roadside and made them into a a small bouquet. She felt embarrassed because she could only give this small present to Jesus. As she walked through the chapel to the altar, she remembered what Pedro had said.

WEIHNACHTSMARKTE-CHRISTMAS MARKETS market: der Markt, die Markte Christmas market: der Weihnachtsmarkt, die Weihnachtsmarkte Ni.irnberg / Nuremberg Let's go to the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt! The festive season is here and Germany's Christmas markets are opening. There are about 2 ,500 - the most famous being the Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg. It celebrates the Advent season in tradition and reflection. World famous Every year, Nuremberg's Christmas market attracts over two miJJion visitors from all over the world. The market opens on the Friday before the first Advent on Nuremberg's main market square and can be visited until December 24. Nuremberg delicacies, merry-go-rounds, mulled wine: Everyone gets into the Christmas mood here. The Nurnberg Christkind officially opens the Christmas market on the Friday before Advent starts. And before Christmas she has over 150 'official duties' including visiting hospitals, old people's homes and children's nurseries! She also has to give TV interviews and visit other cities. Other Christmas Customs Of course, there are many other Germanic Christmas contributions. For instance, it is a real treat to wander through Germany's annual Christmas markets - the most famous being Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt- to see, taste, and smell all the Christmas goodies, from Lebkuchen (gingerbread) to Stollen (fruit bread). Marzipan, made with almonds and sugar, is also a German treat. And the aroma of GliJhwein ("glow wine") will warm you up even before you actually drink this German version of hot mulled wine. .

  • Dec. 6 and Between 10 A.M
    The Beacon In thy light shall we see light. Psalm 36:9 December 2020 ~ January 15, 2021 Fear Not by the Rev. Abigail Crozier Nestlehutt Every generation has its Christmas movies and television specials, I imagine. Mine took the form of cartoons and stop-motion productions with characters like the Grinch, Charlie Brown, Heat Miser, Albert Mouse, Rudolph, and Frosty. As a child, I used to watch each program with my siblings, sitting through all the commercials for Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and York Peppermint Patties. These simple programs were a highlight of the holiday season. As an adult I bought the DVDs so that I would be prepared when I became a parent. Most of those shows seem dated now, and besides, I can stream all of them on my phone whenever I want. Some of their special allure has faded, but they remain the background soundtrack in my mind this time of year. Each one tells a different story. One is about a green monster who tries to steal Christmas, one has to do with a boy who does not believe, another with a mouse who does not believe. Then there are the misfits who save a foggy Christmas and a snowman made magical by Christmas snow. But also, they all tell the same story. No matter what the obstacles are, despite the disbelief and misbehavior of humanity, nothing can stop Christmas from coming. There is always reason to hope, and love always wins. That is the story a spotlighted Linus tells a dejected Charlie Brown from a darkened school stage using the King James Version of the Bible: And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
