Christmas Season 2013 at Church of the Redeemer

Dear Friends in Christ,

Starting December 24, we celebrate the birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is God’s greatest gift to us. Jesus’ birth brings us all that our hearts long to receive.

Christmastide activities at Church of the Redeemer provide each of us occasions to join the Church throughout the World, and our faith community, in celebration, thanksgiving, and praise for the miracle of God’s love shown to us in the Incarnation.

I urge you to bring your family, friends, and neighbors to share in our Christmas celebrations. Many around us yearn to find the deep spiritual meaning of Christmas. Let us help them to fulfill that desire by sharing these events with them.

I look forward to being with you, as we share this Feast of the Nativity.
