Dear friend,
Merry Christmas!
In another difficult year for many, we've gathered up our hopes, joys, and sorrows and brought them expectantly to the manger. And here we find God's newborn response. To paraphrase Athanasius, the One who is utterly powerful, holy, inexorable, becomes vulnerable, that all which is vulnerable might, through his meekness, be transformed into his likeness and share his glory. Thanks be to God!
Please find below a Christmas card from the Living Church, joyfully offered to you and your household! We pray this season is a powerful and sweet one for you.
If you haven't already, please consider a Christmas gift to the Living Church. Donations make up 40 percent our annual budget and are tax-deductible. We also encourage you to explore a variety of gifts, including endowment pledges and planned gifts. Email Christopher Wells at [email protected]. Or donate to our operating budget below.
May Christ the Lord bless you this Christmastide.
Sincerely,
Amber, Christopher, Mark, John,
Gene, Kirk, Sam, Andrew,
Stephanie, and Rebecca
