Like a strand of Christmas lights, we function together to exude the Light of Christ to others. We operate, function, and live as One radiating the Light of hope, peace, joy, and love.

The best present is to be present. God shows love in the gift of His Presence in Jesus. Now we are beckoned to search for Christ’s Presence in the world just as the shepherds and wise men and to share the same love our God shows for us.

As we wrestle to understand what it means to follow Christ two millenia after the perfecter of our faith lived his ministry in the world, may we be brave enough to let go of old patterns so we may more readily and boldly hold steadfast to the Way!
