Welcome to Brick Church Many of you will remember the beloved tale by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, in which the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, is a miserly and bitter man. For this Advent, we will explore Dickens’s story and the timeless Biblical themes he wove throughout it: our human brokenness, the power of God’s redemption, and the hope and joy we find in the birth of our Lord. Click here to read more about our new ministry theme, “Christmas Past, Present, and Future” from Senior Minister Thomas Evans. We are a community growing in love for God, one another, and the world.

Read Sermons & Prayers Christmas Past, Present, Future: The Specter of Christmas Past Isaiah 9:1-7 One of my absolute favorite things every December was to watch A Christmas Carol. I was absolutely enthralled by the three ghosts. And the character Ebenezer Scrooge, that miserly, skin-flinted sort, was on the one hand pathetic and sad, and yet somehow endearing. When he finally transformed, he represented something joyful—triumphant even. This year, during Advent, we’re going to look at Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future.

There may not be costumes or stage machinery, but the music and emotions are genuinely operatic, and they are uniquely suited to express the operatic qualities of this story from the Old Testament. The story comes from the Book of Judges, Chapter 11. Jephte, or Jephthah, was a judge: a leader of Israel in the years before Saul became Israel’s first king.

Children & Youth Jesus said, “Let the little children come unto me, and do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” – Matthew 19:14 At their baptism, we make promises to our children to “guide and nurture them, by word and deed, by love and prayer, encouraging them to know and follow Christ, and through fellowship, strengthen their family ties to the household of God.” When we make these promises to our children at their baptisms, we commit to raising them in the church, teaching them the stories of Jesus, and showing them God’s love.

Baptism is the act of initiation into the Christian faith and into the Christian Church. In the Presbyterian tradition, both children and adults may be baptized, though most Presbyterian parents choose to have their children baptized as infants.
