FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT
NOVEMBER 30, 2014
From the Pastor’s Desk
Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
WATCH!
“Watch!” This word occurs three times in today’s Gospel passage. Moreover, it is placed at significant points: the beginning,
the center, and the end. Though this is technically a parable, it is
quite short (four verses). The threefold repetition of “watch”
leaves no doubt as to what the story is about.
We often think of Advent as a time of waiting, but it truly is a
season of watchfulness, a very active form of waiting for the coming Day of the Lord. It is that day, more than Christmas day, that
the Christian community faithfully expects, using all of our gifts
and talents for this purpose, as Paul reminds us in the Letter to the
Corinthians. When we use these gifts in faithful watching and expectation, we become like the servants of the parable, set to their
tasks, not waiting around idly, but engaged in the master’s work
until his return. May our Advent be a time when we return or rededicate our lives and our communities to this work—the active
and diligent faithfulness that the Lord will expect to find.
Community Food Bank
The pantry volunteers and clients are very grateful
for all of your ongoing support. We cannot serve those
in need without your help. In October, we served 556
families, totaling 1032 people, including 39 new families. We are always in need of the following items: cereal, peanut
butter, powdered milk, canned soup, canned stew, canned tuna or
chicken. In the near future, we will have to transition from plastic
bags to paper or reusable bags. Currently, food is given out in
plastic and paper bags donated by Stater Bros. We are asking for
donations of clean reusable bags to help us when plastic bags are
no longer available.
The pantry is located at Faith Lutheran Church on Hallee Rd. in
Joshua Tree.
Beginning in January, the pantry will be open only on the 2nd
and 4th Wednesday from 9AM to 11AM each month. We will
be closed on all other Wednesdays.

Banco de Comida Comunitario
Gracias por sus generosas donaciones. En octubre servimos 556 familias, un total de 1032 gentes. No funcionaria este
banco de comida sin sus donaciones. Pero todavía estamos necesitando artículos como: Crema de cacahuate, sopas enlatadas,
fruta enlatada, papas, carne enlatada, leche en polvo etc. Todas
las donaciones son grandemente apreciadas. No aceptamos ropa.
Este banco es una organización no-lucrativa 501 C3, asi que el
valor de su donación es deducible de impuestos. Para mas información, contactar al Diacono Glenn al 760-364-3957.

¡VELEN!
“¡Velen!” Esta palabra ocurre dos veces en el Evangelio de
hoy, situada en puntos estratégicos: al principio, y en el centro.
Aunque técnicamente sea una parábola, el texto es bastante breve
(cuatro versículos). La doble repetición de “velen” no deja lugar
a duda de lo que trata este relato.
A menudo pensamos en Adviento como un tiempo de espera,
pero en realidad es un tiempo de vigilancia, una forma muy activa
de esperar la llegada del Día del Señor. Ese es el Día, más que el
día de Navidad, anticipado fielmente por la comunidad cristiana,
ya que usa todos sus talentos y dones para este fin, como nos lo
recuerda Pablo en la carta a los corintios. Cuando usamos estos
dones en fiel espera y anticipación, nos hacemos como los sirvientes de la parábola, entregados a sus tareas, no esperando como
vagos, sino encargados de la labor del maestro hasta su regreso.
Que nuestro Adviento sea un tiempo en que reencaminamos o re-
