Office of the Bishop Updates: 12/3/2021
“The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
As it is written in the prophet Isaiah,
See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way;
the voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight,’”
In this advent season of waiting, we prepare for the coming of Jesus. At the Office of the Bishop, we also ready ourselves for the new year.
