The Great Interruption

1st Sunday of Christmas
Just these lines, my friends …

… to say that the 4th Sunday of Advent is always one of my favorite of the season. It was our Children’s Nativity, when our children enact for us the birth of Jesus at the end of each of our worship services. Our mayor, John Higdon said, “It is my favorite worship service of the year.” It is for many. If you missed being with us, you can worship by clicking here.

May this holiday season nourish your spirit,
Nurture your hope,
And inspire you to continue loving your neighbor.

I hope you’ll watch my Christmas message for you, called The Great Interruption.

And now, as always, during these strange, uncertain, and hopeful days, remember … God does God’s best work in moments like this.

We are Better Together.
