Pastor’s Desk:���

��Today marks the end of the Advent season and the beginning of the Christmas season. We have lighted four candles these past four weeks and asked God to help us be present to our neighbors and friends. Now in the Christmas season we are called to be Christ in the flesh to our world.��Let us pray...��God,�You became human through the obedience�of a simple young woman named Mary.�Mary is our model of faith.�May we be faithful to Your word as Mary was.�Give us the courage to face each day�with the yes that Mary gave to You.�We ask this through the incarnate God,�who comes to us again during this Christmas season.�� Amen. �
