Merry Christmas

A Christmas Letter from Father Lee

Dear Beloved,

Merry Christmas!

In this holy season, we gather to celebrate the birth of Christ—the Light of the World who came to us in the humblest of places, cradled in a manger in Bethlehem. His arrival brought hope, peace, and love into a weary and broken world.

But the beauty of Christmas is that the story doesn’t end in Bethlehem. It continues today through you and me. Like Bethlehem, we are called to make space in our hearts and lives for Christ. And like Mary, we are invited to say “yes” to God’s plan, even when we feel uncertain, unprepared, or afraid.

Every time we choose love over hate, kindness over indifference, and generosity over selfishness, Christ is born again in our world. Every act of compassion, every word of encouragement, every moment of forgiveness is a reminder that God’s love is alive and moving through us.

This Christmas, as we celebrate the miracle of Emmanuel—God with us—may we also remember the calling of Christmas: to be Bethlehem, to be Mary’s yes, and to let Christ’s light shine through us into a world that so desperately needs it.

May the joy, peace, and love of Christ fill your heart and home this season and always.

With love and blessings,

Cracked cistern

Sunday, August 31, 2025 Sermon

By Lee Davis • September 8, 2025
what cracked cistern are you still carrying? Where do you feel the water slipping away? And what would it look like — in your life, this week — to set it down, and to live instead from the fountain of God’s living water?
