How can we help prepare the world for Christmas? In a world that defines us by our differences, we can remind the world that in the presence of the Christ-child, we are all the same.

As we start to prepare for Christmas, we do it with the hope that in the middle of our chaos God has a plan to redeem the whole world and God invites us to play a part.

On Christ the King Sunday, we remember that while the world sometimes celebrates warrior kings, God keeps sending shepherds.

God calls all of us as leaders, often even over our own objections.

Priestly leaders go before us, lifting up the mystery of God to give us courage.

Prophets lead with vision, imagination and courage.

Every church member brings unique gifts and talents to the church, and every member's contribution is vital to the success of the whole.

Why our church needs children and why our children need the church

When you pray for your church leaders, let the Lord's Prayer be your guide.
