As Presbyterians, we are not always comfortable talking about the Holy Spirit. Jesus called the  Holy Spirit a "helper who will continue to witness to the truth." As disciples we are called to find ways to stop, look, and listen for the Holy Spirit working around us. Because we are different people, we will hear the voice of the spirit in different ways.

We are called to pray, but many of us are still uncomfortable with praying in public or even praying on our own. How can we be more disciplined to pray daily as Jesus commands?

We are called to read scripture, but often the Bible remains hidden on our bookshelves. The first step to spiritual growth is intentionally reading the Bible and listening for God's voice in scripture.

The magi went seeking for a king. Joseph, Mary and Jesus sought safety in Egypt. Each of them because they heard from God and responded. How can we listen for God in 2023 and seek to live as God leads?

On Christmas morning we share the story of Jesus once again.

On Christmas Eve we light the Christ Candle. This candle is the last light of the Advent Wreath and it is the light that goes with us everywhere in the world. Hope, peace, joy and love may ebb and flow in our lives, but the light of Christ is never extinguished.

Christmas Eve 5 pm

Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth during her pregnancy and Elizabeth recognizes that Mary will be the mother of a very special child. They see the grace of God in each other, and as the family of faith we should resemble the grace of God, too.

Joseph is called a righteous man because he followed the law of God. But the angel gives him a choice that might question his reputation. Joseph's righteousness is bestowed upon him not by maintaining the expectations of the world, but by following the will of God.

We begin Advent by remembering the generations of Jesus' family and the story that we are called to pass down to future generations.
