For the fourth Sunday of Advent, Love Sunday, the New Church of Montgomery welcomed Guest Minister, Rev. Catherine Lauber over zoom. She performed a sound meditation on the Gospel of Luke 1:26-56 using crystal singing bowls during her sermon entitled, “Faith Grounded in Love”.
Please listen/watch here and enjoy.:
May your days be merry and bright, and may all your Christmases be beautiful and filled with heavenly love.
This was our church’s first year “adopt(ing) a family” from Bethany House Services to provide gifts and needed items. Thanks to all who were able to participate, purchase, wrap and label gifts, and transport them, and to the kids from church posing for pictures in the warehouse receiving area.
Items purchased included silverware, shoes, gift cards, clothes and toys to bring smiles to two little ones and their mom; a family experiencing homelessness. We hope they have a Merry Christmas and feel the love we wrapped into each present.
Wishing you a warm, happy and healthy Christmas, from the New Church of Montgomery. May you feel Love and Light in your heart to share with the world.
Wishing you peace, joy and a heart full of love to share with others.

Ghosts of Christmas past.
December 25, 1861.
The story of Christmas. An oldie, but a goodie. In it, we remember to embrace the fragility of life. The blessings of Divine Love. We enter into this season blissfully, and with renewed energy. Its cause? Love. Love that reaches out and sees everyone’s humanity, everyone’s delicate, yearning heart, everyone’s desire for peace, everyone’s need for care. Today, these children remind us of innocent happiness and wonder during this Christmas season. Their laughter gives us hope that the world is not lost to hatred and indifference. There is Love and Wisdom, and it is Divinely here, in ourselves and others; to give as a gift, the whole year long.
