Weekly Update: December 25, 2024
Word from the Pastor:
Happy Christmas! Sarah and I missed being with you all last night. Whatever you all have done, you have made us feel like we belong to you, and missed our Christmas. Lord willing, we will be with you all at next year’s Christmas Eve service.
That said, we had a great time with our family in Dallas. I just wanted to take a moment and encourage you to continue and reflect on and celebrate the divine hospitality of our God. Remind yourself of the divine hospitality of the Trinity.
Finally, let us remember the Jesus that saved the world who came through the unlikely messengers of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary…let us look for the unlikely messengers today, and let us become the unlikely messengers who bring Jesus into our world.
Love you all,
Matthew & Sarah
