Advent 2025

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etal, and a Happy New Year. Jacqui and I hope you and your family are safe and that the year ahead is full of promise and opportunity. In this season of light, may we all bring some to those in need with our time, our treasure, and our talent. May we do so not just in this season but year-round, as the needs are tremendous and a hand up does so much more than a hand out. To quote from my ECS days," to go fast go alone, but to go far go together." Advent is the season of hope, peace, joy, and love. There are no greater gifts. Love your neighbor and respect the dignity of all.

And that is the real call of Christmas, and the one whose birth we celebrate.
