Naming God’s Dreams as we remember MLK
Star Words Again Point Us Toward God’s In-Breaking
In 2025, we kicked off the year again by inviting everyone to draw a “star word” from a basket provided. Each word is to be placed where the recipient will see it daily and can use it as a guide to notice how God is showing up and empowering their growth in faith in the year to come. Monthly reflection questions in our e-news and on social media help to keep everyone’s hearts open to God’s movement in the here and now as we seek to follow Christ’s examples and share God’s love near and far.
Christmas Worship Meets People in Sorrow & Joy
Our worship during the Advent and Christmas season sought to meet people in whatever situation they found themselves this holiday season. We held our annual Longest Night Gathering, this year in collaboration with the Hudson Area Ministerial Association, to provide comfort and sacred space to all those facing loss of any kind. And our Candlelight Christmas Eve worship invited fervent prayers for peace near and far, as we once again shared the Peace Light (a flame carried person to person all the way from Bethlehem) during our service of candlelight as we affirmed the birth of Christ, the Light of the World!
Overflowing Advent & Christmas Generosity
It was another year of God’s amazing love flowing through the generosity of our family of faith and community. During the Advent and Christmas seasons, the response to various seasonal opportunities for giving was awe-inspiring. Not only did we provide hot cocoa for over 200 families (to warm their holiday celebrations), we also provided requested gifts for four children through Operation HELP’s Christmas campaign. In addition, over $500 was donated to the Christmas Joy Offering (to support retired church workers in financial need and support students of color) and over $1700 was donated to the Deacons Benevolence fund to provide financial assistance to neighbors in need.
