“Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; the night is far gone, the day is near.”

These verses from the 13th chapter of Romans are read on the first Sunday in Advent. A new day is dawning; it’s time for sleepers to awake. It’s time for us to wake up and notice all the awesome things God does among us. It’s time for us to wake up and be willing to take holy risks for the Gospel of Christ.
Now is a unique time in history for American Episcopalians. Not generally associated with evangelism, the institutional Episcopal church now cries out to us to make sharing the Gospel our priority. The Most Rev. Michael Curry has put Episcopalians in the United States squarely and solidly into the Jesus movement. Episcopalians in the dioceses of Western New York and Northwest Pennsylvania are collaborating, living into an experiment for the sake of the Gospel. This new day in history also challenges us as a parish to be more vigilant in sharing the Good News. This new day calls us wake up and discern what holy risks Jesus calls us to take so that we can spread the Gospel in Newfane and the surrounding community.
