The Four Advent Candles
Advent wreaths traditionally hold four candles (three are purple and one is pink), arranged in a circle, symbolizing eternity and the everlasting love of God. The candles represent Jesus coming as a light in the darkness. One candle is lit each Sunday in December until all four candles are lit. As Christmas draws nearer, each candle brings a little more light into the darkness. Sometimes a white candle is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day to symbolize that Jesus is with us. This can be referred to as the "Christ candle."
Each of the candles lit before Christmas represent an aspect of preparation during the season of Advent. First Candle - Candle of Hope symbolizes hope and expectation for the coming of Christ. It reminds believers of the prophecies of the Messiah and the anticipation of His arrival. Second Candle - Candle of Peace represents peace; it encourages believers to seek peace in their lives and communities as they prepare for His coming.
Third Candle - Candle of Joy symbolizes joy and is lit on the third Sunday of Advent, known as Gaudete Sunday. It signifies the joy of the nearing celebration of Christ's birth and the joy that comes from salvation. Fourth Candle - Candle of Love represents love, emphasizing God's love for humanity demonstrated through the gift of His Son. It invites believers to reflect on how they can share this love with others. Although we may not actually light advent candles in our homes, we can carry their message of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love with us throughout the coming year.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all Meadowlark residents. May your Holiday celebration be blessed. Your Meadowlark Board Shirley Hargis, Jonathon Gritzer, Nancy Auberry, Maggie Dynes
Acts of Kindness
Recently we've learned of neighbors helping neighbors with acts of kindness. One reported that their leaves had been blown into piles, ready for leaf removal. Another that their trash carts were being brought back up to their garage. And "Santa's Elves" put Santa hats on some of the mailbox posts, giving them a festive look.
A special THANK YOU for these acts of kindness.
This is a wonderful time of year when the spirit of giving is in our hearts. Let's keep it there all year.
Firetruck Santa Coming to Meadowlark
Firetruck Santa is coming to Meadowlark on Monday, December 15th. He starts his route at 6:00 p.m., but we don't know exactly when he will be in our neighborhood. So watch for Santa and enjoy talking with him. Please take pictures and send them to Shirley Hargis at ushargis@yahoo.com.
Snow Removal
Kelly Landscaping is our snow removal contractor. Our agreement is his crew doesn't start shoveling until we have 3" on the ground.
If you don't want ice melt spread on your drive and sidewalks, just put your trash cart in front of your garage door.
If you should have any damage from the snow removal, please take pictures and send to Aubrianna Strickland at KMC: astrickland@ekirkpatrick.com.
Association Fees
January 1st dues are fast approaching. You will receive your coupon books in the next few days. If your payment is received after January 30th, you will be assessed a $50 late fee. Pay on time and avoid the late fee.
If you have questions, call KMC (317-570-4358) and ask for Accounting.
Board Officers
We are still seeking officers for these positions:
* Secretary (we are using a software app that records, then prepares a text document of the minutes. Time saving on taking notes.)
* Grounds Liaison
Please give consideration to serving on your Board. Your help and insight would be most welcome. If interested, contact Shirley Hargis, ushargis@yahoo.com.
Leasing Homes in Meadowlark
Our Covenants state that only 5 homes can be leased at the same time in Meadowlark. These homes are listed on our "Rental Cap" list. We now have 5 homes being leased to non-family tenants by Meadowlark homeowners.
What if more than 5 homeowners want to lease their homes? If you are one, you must contact KMC to put it on the "Wait" list. The home cannot be rented until one of the first 5 homes is no longer a rental. If you want to rent out your home in the future, you must be on the Wait list.
Click here to view the Leasing section in our Covenants and letter with instructions to add your home to the Wait List.
Color Changes
We can't stress enough that anytime you want to make a change in color to your house trim, doors, window trim, siding, etc. you must submit an ARC Request for Change form for review. Only the approved colors that are stated in our Covenants may be submitted.
If you make an unapproved color change, you will be required to remove it and use an approved color.
Go to our Bulletin Board page for a list of the approved colors in this section: Approved Paint Colors for Meadowlark.
