News Bulletin
News Headlines, October 2021 - Fatal Accidents. Weather in West Causes Evacuations. Booster Shots Now Available. More Leaks Within Facebook. Virginia Election & Barak Obama Visit. Migrant Crisis from Mexico. Civil Unrest in Haiti.
For weeks I have intentionally limited my news intake to an hour a day. Yet I find myself eagerly watching for the good news segment.
News Headlines, 3-4 B.C. - Caesar Issues Decree. Shepherds Terrified. King Herod is Disturbed & Secretly Calls Magi. Star Appears in the East.
And then the good news:
The Angel of the Lord Appears
Baby in a Manger
The Birth of Jesus Christ
Behold beloveds, God's awesome agape love. We've been granted the ultimate gift - the very best news of all. I hope and pray this love sustains us during these uncertain days. May this good news permeate our days for there is much to be thankful for. We know and truly love Jesus.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Parent, we give you the highest honor and praise. We endeavor to keep our eyes, hearts, and witness fixed on thee this Advent season and beyond. Thank you for your lovingkindness always. We uphold your prize of goodness. Amen and Ashe.

Advent 2021
Join us in a time of reflection, expectation, and contemplation during the season of Advent 2021.
Each day a new reflection with a scripture and prayer will be posted on the Metropolitan AME Church website and social media to encourage you to hear the words of those reflecting, anticipating, and contemplating with you in community as we thank God for what God has done, notice what God is actively doing and anticipate what God will do next.
