Ach mein herzliebes Jesulein,
Mach dir ein rein sanft Bettelein,
Zu ruhn in meines Herzens Schrein,
Dass ich nimmer vergesse dein!

Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child,
Prepare a bed, soft, undefiled,
A quiet chamber set apart
For You to dwell within my heart. (LSB 358, v. 13)

The choir I sing with here in Leipzig (Concerto Vocale), along with the Saxon Baroque Orchestra, had the joy of proclaiming the Christmas message through Bach’s Christmas Oratorio twice at our church yesterday: first in a shortened version with and for children, and then parts I - III for a standing room only crowd!

May the Holy Christ Child dwell in Your hearts this Christmas!

Wishing everyone a blessed 4th Sunday in Advent and a merry Christmas this week! Some of the guys at church were excited about the tree and nativity being put up yesterday and wanted to get a photo! Sending warm greetings from Leipzig!

Thanks for all your prayers for safe travel! Silvia and I made it back to Leipzig Thursday evening and already welcomed visitors from Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church Mequon, WI on Friday! Pastor Stein is leading a group on a Luther Tour and I got to show some of them our church and “Die Brücke”!

My last weekend in the USA was a whirlwind! A visit with dear friends and former colleagues at their current congregation Trinity Lutheran Church, School & Daycare - Berrien Springs, MI was bookended by stops in Champaign to enjoy time with the students at University Lutheran Church UIUC on Saturday morning for Christmas caroling and Sunday evening for fellowship. What a joy to spend time with so many special people, including a cherished friend who’s been a part of my life for four decades! Prayers for safe travels back to Germany today would be appreciated!

The winter storm last weekend almost kept me from traveling to St. John, Champaign, IL, where I served my first call. So thankful I was able to be there in person to see so many dear friends, including former youth in town for the Thanksgiving holiday! There is indeed much to be thankful for!

Worshipping at Immanuel Lutheran Church Springfield this past Sunday brought back a flood of memories. My earliest memories in worship with my mom were in those pews. This is where I learned to sing and love the liturgy and hymns. So special to be back among this loving congregation and so thankful for their mission partnership these past 8 years!

Had a great time at Memorial Lutheran Church, Houston TX and Memorial Lutheran School this past week! I got to share at the church’s Christian education night and speak to the upper grades at the school. It was a joy to see the Ahlmans, who served in Leipzig just before I did. I also loved getting to stay with the Kitchells, who I had gotten to know previously at my brother’s church in Montana!

Enjoyed my first visit to a Classical Lutheran school: Grace Lutheran School in Brenham, TX. The two groups of students I spoke to were a joy—very attentive with good questions! It was also nice to catch up with their teacher Magdalena Obersat and sit in on a Latin class. Thanks for the invitation!

What a fun ladies’ Bible study at Crown of Life Lutheran Church in San Antonio this week! I think we set a new record for most questions asked and longest presentation. 😄 Thanks for having me and being so engaged in the mission conversation!
