If you are like many parish pastors, you find the Christmas season to be the most frustrating season of the church year – so much to do, so much to celebrate, so much to say – and so little time to prepare it all! That is why J. Ellsworth Kalas has prepared these twelve thoughtful sermons – to help you present the meaningful and coherent messages you want your congregation to hear during this busiest of seasons.

Within are sermons for every Cycle C gospel text during the Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany seasons from the Common, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic lectionaries, including:

• The Signs of Summer
  
• The Hinge of History
  
• Songs of the Season
  
• Return to the New
  
• From Empty Nets to Full Lives
  
• Awake to Glory

Use these complete sermons as presented – or as jumping-off points for your own meaningful messages.

J. Ellsworth Kalas has for sixteen years served as senior minister of the Church of the Saviour (United Methodist) in Cleveland, Ohio.
