On Sunday, November 29 is our first Sunday of Advent. As we approach the Season of Advent, I continue to pray that God will provide healing and health we need to continue this Christian journey on earth.
One of the things we have loved about Advent and Christmas is the joyous gathering of the community of faith; ours being an example. During this time, we gather and prepare for the birth of the Christ Child. With the experience with the coronavirus, we do not know how that will look this year, but we can still believe in the same hope, love, joy, and peace that the Christ Child brings. As we start to prepare, let us never forget that there was no place for Mary to rest, or for Joseph to pay for a place. But most of all, there was “No Room” for the child to be born. As we think about, or imagine this, there are many in the world without a place to live, and no job to provide a living. Many are ill and others gone on to glory. I say this because things are different and will be different no matter what we say or do. This is because God will do a new thing. For Isaiah 43:19 (NIV) states, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”. Therefore, believe it or not, it will not be of our own making, but God is inviting all of us to participate. The choice is ours. As we choose, let us never lose our focus on the joy of preparation and the warmth to come this Christmas. And imagine how the Lord can increase our territory, widen our borders, and improve our sense of family, church, community, and the world as we make room for Christ and all our neighbors this year. Finally, as we prepare, remember, “Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.” (Proverbs 23:18) Live with HOPE and never give up as we prepare for the Christ Child! -Pastor Alecia -Pastor Alecia If you would like to contact Pastor Alecia, simply click on the appropriate button.

Our youth are busy - with mission work, fun and fellowship activities and growing in faith. Youth Fellowship meets most weeks - either after worship for lunch, fellowship and a program or for a specific special event at another time. See the calendar for the complete schedule and check our our MYF page for pictures and more information.
Bingxin Xu received his master of science degree from Cornell University and moved to Natick, with his wife Tian Zhang, right after his graduation in 2012. They feel blessed to settle down in Natick and Fisk Church, and felt called to be Fisk's Youth Fellowship Leaders in 2015. They are looking forward to leading and growing up along with the youth.
