This first Sunday of Advent our focus was on Luke 3:7-18,21-23. The sermon title "C and E Christians" noted that often "C and E" Christians are those people who only show up in church on Christmas and Easter. The holiday rituals are for the most part only rituals devoid of any life to them, and thus not really "holy days." Since we served communion on this Sunday, the sermon points out that communion reminds us that the baby born on Christmas is the same one who grew to become a man and was crucified and then rose again on Easter. Communion connects the C and E. Yes, "C and E Christians" are also those who know that the reason for the "C" was that the "E" event might bring us salvation.
