CELEBRATE This Sunday, God rejoices and sings because of us.
We read in Zephaniah today that God "will sing joy-fully because of you, / as one sings at festi-
vals" (Zephaniah 3:18). We know plenty about sing-ing at festivals. Already our ears are ringing with the songs and carols that anticipate the Christmas sea-
son. Paul reminds us of the source of our own double re-joicing: God is the mighty savior who is in our midst (in Zephaniah's words). Because this is so, says Paul, we can rejoice and be at ease. We don't have to wor-ry, for God's peace will stand guard over our hearts
and minds. A medieval carol depicts Christmas as "my dancing day" and urges us to enter into the dance. Why all the merrymaking? Because "the Lord is near," as
Paul reminds us (Philippians 4:5). He then points to another reason for the dancing: the dawn of the
promise of peace, the peace beyond all understand-
TODAY'S READINGS First Reading -- Shout for joy! Sing joyfully! Be glad and exult! The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a mighty savior (Zephaniah 3:14-18a). Psalm -- Cry out with joy and gladness: for among you is the great and Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 12). Second Reading -- Rejoice! The Lord is near . Make your requests known to God (Philippians 4:4-7). Gospel -- John tells his hearers to share their possessions with the needy; be honest; do not threat-en or accuse others falsely (Luke 3:10-18).

Hall. December 21,22, & 23rd are available if your family would like to be in charge of a posada.
