The UMYF went caroling this past Sunday to a few members of our congregation. 🎄❤️💚 #Repost @umyf_sm ・・・
UMYF caroling shindig☃️ 🎄#xmascarols #umyf @santamonicaumc Another successful Christmas Celebration Concert! 🎶 🎄

Thank you Dr. Jim Smith, Conductor and our fearless Music Director; our Chancel Choir; all the guest singers; Ty Woodward, our amazing organist; the Mark Twain Ringers; all the guest musicians, and Rev. Patricia Farris for a beautiful performance!

@santamonicaumc “I baptize you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is coming after me;  I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."⠀
– Matthew 3:11 ⠀
⠀
This Sunday we continue our Advent journey with the lighting of two candles on our Advent wreath and the words of the poet, Mary Oliver: “Pay attention.  Be astonished.  Tell about it.”⠀
⠀
And lo and behold, John the Baptist shows up again.  Right on time.  His appearance, his clothing, his words are all intended to astonish us. ⠀
⠀
Pay attention.  The kingdom of heaven is at hand.  Be astonished.⠀
⠀
I look forward to worship and our Christmas Concert with you!⠀
⠀
—Rev. Patricia Farris⠀

#advent #payattention #revpatriciafarris #santamonicaumc #firstumcsmsanctuary #holycommunion ...salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers...⠀
– Romans 13:11b⠀
⠀
Once we recover from our Thanksgiving feasting, we find that the season of Advent is upon us, ready or not.  This year, we will be accompanied by a variety of artists – the composers and performers of the season's beautiful music, the art of our friend, John August Swanson, and the poetry of Mary Oliver. “Pay attention,” she writes.⠀
⠀
Pay attention. In the midst of it all, God is doing a new thing. “The true light that gives light to everyone is coming into the world,” John's Gospel proclaims.⠀
⠀
The worship of this season calls us to pay attention, to see with new eyes, to remember the promise, and to renew our hope.⠀
⠀
I look forward to worshipping with you,⠀
⠀
Patricia⠀
