Advent is a time of signs that point to the love and welcome of God coming to us in a small child. At Christ Church we have many signs that point to this love and welcome of God. The photo shows Andy Tomat and Father Bill Ledbetter standing by our new "THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH WELCOMES YOU" sign. Andy, Bill, and I put our engineering skills together to hang the sign.

As you look at the photograph, it is good to be reminded that Andy,Bill, and each of us is also a sign of God's love and welcome for others. Each Sunday as new people come to our door, you are the most important flesh and blood sign that they will see. Rejoice and give thanks for the grace to be such a sign.

TOOL TIME: Andy and I found great satisfaction in the simple things of life--a good drill, a good wrench, and a task to be done. Where is Tim Allen when you need him?
