Next up ➡️ Meet our Ruling Elder Commissioner to the 227th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) 👋 JoAnn Murtha (First Presbyterian Church of Plattsmouth)

JoAnn Murtha was born and raised in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, and has been part of First Presbyterian Church most of her life. She has taught Sunday School, sung in the choir, played bells in the bell choir, assisted as a lay reader, has served as a Deacon, and is currently an Elder and chair of the Mission and Evangelism Committee. She keeps busy with church activities, volunteering at the local food pantry, and is President of her local P.E.O. Chapter (a philanthropic educational organization supporting education opportunities for women).

JoAnn spent 36 years in Civil Service, met her husband at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, where she was working on a Civil Service contract, and got married in Basel, Switzerland before returning to the States. She and her husband, Rick, enjoy traveling and have just returned from celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at Basel. In her spare time she enjoys reading, counted cross-stitch, and knitting.

Attending the General Assembly will be a new and exciting experience for her, and she is looking forward to meeting everyone on the Zoom sessions and at the in-person plenary meetings.

The Day after Christmas:
THE NEXT WORD

Two weeks from now, on January 5th, we will celebrate Epiphany, the giving of light, the reminder that God’s Light has come into the world and the darkness has not, cannot, put it out. On that day, we will have the opportunity to choose a star word, a word that will guide our hearts and minds in reflection over the next few weeks as we head toward the Season of Lent.
But I’m curious. After 25 days and 25 words, what would be your 26th word? Is there a word that seemed to be missing from your Advent journey? Is there a word that seemed to resonate with you over the course of the season that you never saw as you read through the devotions found in the booklet? Do you want to revisit one of the first twenty-five words. For just a couple of moments, here on the day after Christmas, give some thought to what your next word would be. May that word guide you here in the next few days as we continue in the Christmas Season.
If you'd like to, please share your word with the rest of us in the comments below. For me (Pastor Matt), the words I keep thinking of are found in a poem/prayer by Howard Thurman. So my single word is this one: WORK.
Thank you again for taking this Advent journey with your church family. I trust that it has been a blessing. As the devotions were coming in from those who had written them, I found myself touched and heartened by the spiritual depth that was so readily apparent. These devotions were indeed “words for the beginning.”
