A NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR: Due to the bulletin publisher's holiday schedule, I'm once again writing this letter well in ad- vance of you reading it. Today's letter was written on December 22nd, in the midst of all the last minute decorating and planning for Christmas. Hopefully next week I'll be back on track! Today the Christmas Season reaches its traditional twelfth day (which is actually this Tues- day) with the Solemnity of the Epiphany.
