By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor
"I can't think of a better way to start Advent. I can't think of a better way to put away the things that divide and open up deep within ourselves the things that are of a humble spirit, that are willing to be able to look around, listen, and with the heart, recognize the goodness and the truth and the real power that's out there," Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor, tells us for the first episode of our Advent podcast. "If we are at Christmas Day going to receive Christ in a new way — in a powerful way in our lives — it's going to be because we start the first day of Advent in the right spirit. And we build on it, and let Christ be real in our lives and in our spirit."
