Passing the Peace - Christmas 2024
Dear Glen Morris,
Wishing each and everyone of you a very merry Christmas and health & happiness as we step into 2025. May the peace of Christ be with you, however it may be that you are celebrating the holidays this year. As we make our way through the darkest week of the year, I hope you will be able to join us (in-person or on zoom) as we share in the beloved story of Jesus’ birth and the light this has given us to carry out into the world.
May the peace of Christ be with you, at the dinner table of delicious food and during long overdue hugs from friends you haven’t seen in a while
May the peace of Christ be with you, when the whirlwind of gift giving subsides and the quiet in the house feels a bit different,
May the peace of Christ be with you, even if Christmas doesn’t feel the same this year or you’re still trying to make sense of what family looks like to you right now,
No matter how this season arrives, Christ was born for each and every one of us - to show us the way of hope, peace, love, and joy.
Yours in Christ,
Rev Michiko
