MID-WEEK MEET-UP: Second Advent Puzzle

Hi First Presbyterian Church,

It’s time for our Mid-Week Meet-Up! I assumed last week that I’d have something to tell you today about what happened at the third Vision Retreat this past weekend and what progress the Vision Team made. Sadly, however, I don’t have anything any updates for you. Our consultant Kevin Ford arrived in Rochester only to get news that his 91-year mother was in the hospital and facing the end of her life. So we cancelled the retreat, and Kevin flew back to North Carolina where he is still keeping vigil as his mother makes her transition into eternal life. We are working on rescheduling the retreat for a weekend in January. Please join me in praying for his mother Jean Graham Ford, for her husband Leighton, for Kevin, and for their whole family. Jean is the sister of the late Billy Graham. 

On a lighter topic, this Sunday is the Second Sunday of Advent, which means… it’s time for our next word puzzle! Well done to those of you who solved last week’s puzzle - harbinger. This week, instead of decoding letter symbols, you will be solving a word scramble. Here it is:

AMSEPISTNOOCA  REHDSPEH

Unscramble this two-word phrase to discover the theme of this Sunday’s sermon. Just like last Sunday, I will ask one volunteer to solve the puzzle during worship. If that person solves it correctly, they will earn a small prize. 

I hope to see you Sunday!


Peace to you,
Pastor Aaron
