  • Dear Siblings in Faith,

    I’m writing this letter surrounded by joy and sorrow. I have a giant pile of envelopes to stuff with Star Words, and a long list of folks to call who are grieving a family member who died this year. Though I’m tempted to neglect the calls in order to watch Christmas movies and stuff envelopes, I know from experience that conversations with those who grieve will invite me to gratitude


  • I was excited to send you Christmas greetings from the whole staff. We’d gathered, 8 out of 10 present in Zoom’s little boxes. Our hair was coiffed, our backgrounds free of paper piles, and 1 of us had even pushed pause on their vacation to be part of wishing all of you the spirit of the season.


  • The Mission and Social Justice Board would like to offer a special thank you to the donor artists participating in the Broken for Beauty Auction. Christen Mattix, Laura Norton, and Lyz Staman all answered our church's call for help immediately.
