It is because of the unwavering support and genuine love of all those who remember and cherish Upsala Presbyterian Church that its vital
mission and work and worship is able to be carried on, in Christ's name.
Today (Dec. 3rd) is "Giving Tuesday" across the nation, the annual day of radical generosity. Please consider giving a special year-end financial gift to Upsala Presbyterian Church (101 Upsala Rd.,
Sanford, FL 32771). Thank you! (It takes a lot of shekels to maintain and fund and insure an historic 135 year old church these days.)
ADVENT. Before there was plastic, we preserved summer’s bounty in simple mason jars, so that even in the barren days of winter we could taste God’s goodness. The
season of Advent is a time for simple things, and for keeping things simple. It’s a time to stop the frantic busyness, to stop the clutter of stuff wrapped in plastic. Advent is a time to slow down
and preserve what is really important: hope and peace, joy and love, and Christ. It’s the time to slow down and to see anew God wrapped in flesh and lying in a manger. Join us this Advent season as
we slow down, breathe and re-focus on God’s goodness, God’s bounty preserved for this world, as it already is in heaven. (The season of Advent begins on Sunday, Dec. 1st and continues thru Dec. 24th.
The Sunday worship services at Upsala Presbyterian Church begin at 10 A.M.)
What might we be if only we tried? What might we become if only we'd listen?
(Amanda Gorman)
Only the person who has experienced it can believe what the love of Jesus Christ really is.
(Bernard of Clairvaux)
Peace rides on the back of truthful speech.
