The end of the semester is here-worship with us

  O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, 
  that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.
  Rejoice!  Rejoice!  Emmanuel, shall come to you, O Israel.
 
Wednesday--Worship with us one last time this semester--7:47-9pm  Johnson Room D
Thursday--Table Talk at St. George's--dinner and conversation--rides at 6:30
 
It is now time for me to say good by.  I have been called to be the pastor at Salem Lutheran Church in Jarrettsville, Maryland, and will begin there January 1.
The time I have spent with you here at George Mason University has been fun, challenging, inspiring, educational and memorable.
We welcome Pastor Terry Hannon as the new interim campus pastor for LCM.
    
My prayers are with you and the Lutheran Campus Ministry.  May God bless you and forever keep you in God's loving arms.  Have a Blessed Christmas. 
Jeanne Larsen


Hi,
I'm Terry Hannon, and I'm delighted to be working directly with the students at George Mason for the coming semester!  I've met a number of you already, and I hope to get to know you better, as well as meet a few more people.

We give thanks for Vicar Jeanne's ministry during the past year and we wish her well as she continues to proclaim God's amazing grace in a new place.

Our prayers are with you all during exam time.  I encourage you to take a short break from your studies Wednesday night and join us for worship at 747!

Advent Blessings,
Pastor Terry Hannon

Come worship with us this week

Come Worship on Wednesday Evening!
 
As the semester draws to a close, take time to worship and refresh.
  Wednesday evening, 7:47-9pm, Johnson Room D
  And bring others-we all need time with God
 
Then on Thursday, come to Table Talk at St George's Methodist--6:30pm
 
Advent turns us to the Coming of our Savior not only as a baby in the manger
              but also the Coming of our Savior in glory to gather his people to himself.
                Hope, pray, trust, with faith and rejoicing!!  Come, Lord Jesus!!

Blessings, Jeanne Larsen
