Stir Up Sunday
On this our second Sunday in our Celtic Advent celebration, we get out the old bowls at the farm to whip up some holiday goodies. This day is known in Anglican circles as “Stir Up Sunday,” which gets its name from the collect in the Book of Common Prayer that asks God to “stir up” God’s faithful children. It was a day for families to “stir up” their Christmas puddings and fruitcake, allowing enough weeks for all the wonderful holiday flavors to mingle together.
I wonder, though, what does it take for our faith to be stirred up? What would it look like to live with such a faith? And, as we head toward the Thanksgiving holiday, who has been that special person in your life who has “stirred up” your faith? Think about that person and pause to give God thanks for them in your life.
So, let’s get ready to stir things up!
Blessings to you and your family,
Pastor Donna

I stirred up pumpkin pie today. Fruit cakes were stirred up last week and have been marinating in brandy for the time. I was asked to pray for our church congregation this morning which stirred feelings of love and thanksgiving for this dear group of congregants.
