Dear Sisters in Christ, Soon we will leave the Season of Advent preparation and begin the joy of celebrating the Christmas Season, the time of our Savior Jesus’ birth. For us we gather as we are able to hear and tell the story of the birth of God’s Son. He came into the world being born of/in our human flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit. He was born as all of us are born. Is it any wonder that over the two thousand years since that event we are still amazed and give thanks to God for...

Read MoreChristmas Message to The Episcopal Community 2018
Beloved in Christ, I send each of you in the Episcopal Community greetings and my prayers for a blessed Christmas Season. As Christians we gather on Christmas to celebrate the birth of Jesus who was born in a stable because there was no room in the Inn. As disciples of Jesus we take time during this Holy Season to ensure that the Inn is also in our hearts as we make room for Jesus and witness to the Gospel in His name. It is for all Christians a season of Hope and Joy that the Christ Child may fill...
