We invite you to not give into the advertisers and corporations that really don’t want to worship but will use the language of Christmas to lure us into spending more.
We invite you to spend less on thoughtless gifts, to give more meaningful gifts, gifts of our time and presence.
We believe that as we do this, as we celebrate Christmas we can be a part of God still changing the world.
May you recognize that
having it all
is not having it all.
