Welcome to Wayzata Community Church

We have spent the entire season of Advent and month of December waiting.  Christmas has come and the infant Jesus has been born, but in many ways we are still waiting for his arrival.

Now we find ourselves in the barren month of January and before we can believe it, Advent will be upon us again.  Always waiting.

Our scriptures teach us about faithful waiting:

• Waiting is active... it is not the passive acceptance of things just as they are.  Active waiting is being radically present to the moment believing that something is happening where you are right now.

• Waiting is open-ended... unlike most of our waiting, which is conditional and scheduled according to our needs, these characters don’t know where, when, or how their waiting will end.

• Waiting is best done together... in a context of community.  This is the model of our Christian faith:  a community of support, celebration, affirmation, and waiting.

• Waiting involves a sense of promise... a hope for the future.  Henri Nouwen writes:  “People who wait have received something that is at work in them, like a seed that has started to grow.”

How are you waiting?  Why are you waiting?  Take heart, people of God!  Waiting is not a movement from nothing to something.  Waiting is a movement from something… to SOMETHING MORE.

So, come join us for SOMETHING MORE!

Peace-
John
