As we wait for the arrival of a new year, we look back at the past year, and consider the “in-between time” in Jesus Christ’s own life.

Home has come to us! So let’s come home for Christmas in the deepest way possible.

We know what it means to be thankful but sometimes we forget to reflect upon all of the reasons we have to be grateful.  This week’s service, based around “A Thanksgiving Prayer” by Howard Thurman, will help guide us as we give thanks to God for all of the many people and blessings we have in our lives.  We will also be celebrating a baptism and sharing in communion.

What good is it to honor everyone else and still dishonor ourselves? Be encouraged by the goodness of God with today’s invitation to honor ourselves like God does!… especially when the world is in great need of change. Join us!

Today we share “the communion of saints” across the miles… in both senses of that phrase. Prepare to partake of the communion elements, if you can, but also prepare to commune with saints who are the hands and feet of Christ elsewhere in the world.
