Saint Mark United Methodist Church We celebrate Emmanuel, God WITH us, the name that recognizes the humanity AND divinity of God. We often take the juxtaposition of those words for granted. I might have said "we celebrate the oiliness of water." Water and oil just do not mix but stay separated by their very nature. But God longed so much to have a perso...nal relationship with us that He became one of us.- Kale Wright, St. Mark Advent Devo. Guide

Saint Mark United Methodist Church John makes it clear that Jesus, through belief in Him, GAVE us the right to become children of God! This is truly a spectacular gift afforded us only through our faith in Christ. God adopts us to be sons and daughters by his gift of Jesus Christ.- Bill Mathews, St. Mark Advent Devotional Guide

Saint Mark United Methodist Church The angel says to us, "Fear not, for I bring you good news." Our good news and our joy today is the same as the shepherds' so long ago-the joy of a promise of something to come and the good news that God is making something new. Now, we can rejoice and wait with joy. God has come into our midst this day, waiting with ...us in the dark, until it turns to light. - Katie Olliff, St. Mark Advent Devotional Guide

Saint Mark United Methodist Church I have often wondered how my life would be different if "sing it like you mean it" became the defining metaphor for life. How am I different if I focus in my daily life on the fact that I have a God who wants and empowers me to be happy and free? I think, no, I am convinced I know. My life would be brighter, fuller and... richer with those attributes of God lighting my path. - Bruce Roaden, St. Mark Advent Devo. Guide

Saint Mark United Methodist Church I still can't seem to reconcile the apparent unfairness of life, so much so that I am tempted to abandon God in my own anger - not for what He has given me, which is more than enough, but for what He has denied my neighbors. But, David is overcome with amazement at God's treatment of men, who are so untrustworthy, with... a Promise that He will never forsake.- Elizabeth Redpath, St. Mark Advent Devotional Guide

Saint Mark United Methodist Church When tough decisions needed to be made I would ask myself which option would most likely lead to joy - the joy that my earthly father believes my Heavenly Father wants for me. I'm thankful for challenges, because they brought me to my knees and to just one prayer - "Thy will be done". I gave up any illusion of control... and waited for God's plan to unfold. - Laura Butler, St. Mark Advent Devotional Guide

Jeff Douglass The Advent Service yesterday was joyful and uplifting, as always!

Jeff Douglass, First United Methodist, Thomasville GA

Saint Mark United Methodist Church In my youth, in the silence of my fleeting thoughts I could hear a voice speak to me: "I am here for you". Today, I know the warmth and comfort of the presence of God. I know why I am here - and I am beginning to understand that God speaks through me. I have felt Him lift me up when I say the words: "I am here for yo...u, Lord". - Eric Norman, St. Mark Advent Devotional Guide
