JANUARY 2026
From the Pastor’s Message:
Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year! Even as the calendar year turns, we are still dwelling within the twelve days of Christmas—a season that invites us not to rush ahead, but to linger with the mystery and promise of God-with-us. After the great busyness and anticipation leading up to Christmas Day, these remaining days of the Christmas season offer us space to breathe, to slow down, and to give thanks.
On January 6, the Church enters the season of Epiphany, a time when we reflect on the ways that God’s light is revealed in the world through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Epiphany reminds us that Christ’s light does not fade with decorations or the passing holidays, but continues to shine in the darkness.
As we begin 2026, my prayer is that you might enter the year with great attentiveness to the light of the Gospel. May you trust Christ to guide you through uncertainties, strengthen you for service, and draw you more deeply into His everlasting love and light.
God's Peace,
Pastor Taylor
