Rector….. The child grew under their care And soon became a man He spread Good News & healed the sick & became a legend throughout the land. Fr. Marty Zlatic LEGEND Many saints then followed in his way And legends they too became Their deeds too great to remember all The origin of “legend” But we know many by name So its etymology states Is a story to be read in church And so we gather and give thanks On saints’ feasts and special dates. For the legends within our midst The faithful whose virtues for our youth But over time we’ve come to see Are also too numerous to list. A legend in the book of life’s pages Is a person whose virtues are so great For patience, wisdom, and concern, They magnify through the ages. For faith, for hope, for joy, For servant’s hearts, for smiling faces The stories that surround us For teens and girls and boys. At this Advent time of year Are full of many legends We thank you for legends gathered here That are wonderful to hear. With hope when our youth are grown & gone That one day they’ll too be legends How Zechariah and Elizabeth And the story will live on.

  • Advent Lutheran Wyckoff
    ADVENT LUTHERAN WYCKOFF Nativity of Our Lord: Christmas Day ● December 25, 2019 Isaiah 9:2-7 • Psalm 96 • Titus 2:11-14 • Luke 2:1-20 Imagine that you were alive some nineteen hundred years ago, hearing of Jesus for the first time through St. John’s gospel. What would you notice? What you would find surprising? Perhaps, most obviously, you’d notice that John’s story of Jesus doesn’t start with Jesus. It begins at the very beginning. Not the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. Not at the beginning of Jesus’ life. But at the beginning with a capital B. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Before humanity, before creation, before time, was the Word. For John, the Word is not simply a sound or a series of letters, but a structure, a system, an order. As long as God has been God, God has had an intention, a purpose, that undergirds and supports all of creation And that intention, that purpose that John calls the Word is to create, to love, to sustain, and to be in relationship. “All things,” John writes, “came into being through him.” Meaning time, creation, and humanity have always carried the design of God’s great love. God has always created, spoken, active through that Word. This Word was not born two thousand years ago and placed in a manger in Bethlehem. It has always been woven into our story. John starts at the beginning, because he wants us to understand that when Abraham and Sarah were grafted into God’s covenant, it was the Word of God that brought them hope.
