2024 Christmas Pageant
On the fourth Sunday of Advent, along with our brothers and sisters of our Hispanic community we presented a moving, spiritual Christmas Pageant. Making it even more special, it was written by our own Maria (Bibi) Navarro. It was a pleasure to work alongside them to make Christmas so meaningful for our congregation.
To begin the new year, Canon Ifill has challenged us to develop a “Rule for Life” or improve or add to the one we have. She has instructed us that this should include prayer, regular church attendance with Eucharist. We should take the values we develop out into the world, so that we are able to see the Christ in others and they are able to see the Christ in us.
This type of education enables us to know our faith and it’s traditions and empowers us with tools to live a more spiritual life.
Vestry meetings are opened in prayer and with a time of reflection. The Rule of Life has been included in these reflections since Canon Ifill has introduced the topic in November. We hope to continue these discussions at Vestry as well as with our church community.

During this time, may we grow deeper in faith, be renewed in spirit, and be joyful with the anticipation of something new and renewed coming into our lives. May you and your family stay well and safe until we can gather together once again. Wishing you peace & God's love.
