This weekend, when we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his prophetic legacy, and the call to work for racial justice in our own day, participants in our Racial Justice Group will offer a forum after the 11 am service to discuss their experiences, what they have learned, what they hope for, and what they are trying to do by focusing on the racism in our own lives, our church, and our broader communities.

The rector writes: “Our fears for our dear ones and our world — in the midst of violence, war and ecological destruction — run deep. More than ever, we need to hear the angels say ‘don’t be afraid,’ and join their song of glory to God and peace on earth. More than ever, we need to open our hearts to the good news that God has come to be with us in the flesh, come what may.” Please join us for worship this Christmas Eve or Christmas Day — in person or online — and discover again the peace and joy of Christ’s incarnation among us.
