Dear Church Community,

You may recall that this was the theme of my 2022 Sabbatical, and I think it’s relevant to this season of our congregation’s life. I wrote about it in my Pastor’s Report, which I hope you’ll read, along with the rest of the updates collected in our church’s Annual Report. On Sunday we’ll gather for our first hybrid Annual Meeting after worship, at which time we’ll vote on the 2023 budget, elect our committee chairs, leadership team,

Dear Church Community,

This quotation recently appeared in a weekly email I receive, and for some reason it stuck with me.

Claim an hour for yourself and

Dear Church Community,

This Sunday we’ll enjoy the first Christmas Pageant during Sunday morning worship in three years! This is no small milestone, and it’s a blessing to be able to gather knowing the virus (with vaccines) is now mostly a minor inconvenience and not a deadly threat.

Having said this, I know many of us are on our first, second, and even third go ‘round with Covid, and my prayers are with you—as well as with anyone dealing with

Dear Church Community,

This first week of Advent, I’m still buzzing from my trip to NYC. It was a magical weekend (photos below) but the rapid swing from one holiday to the next (our hotel changed its decorations from Thanksgiving harvest to Christmas trees overnight) felt a little frenetic.

This is one of the reasons I encourage you to embrace Advent as a Season. It’s not that I oppose early Christmas decorations (I support anything that brings light
