Friday Contemplation: Hard to believe we are 14 days from 2022. In our remaining days of 2021, I hope you reflect and celebrate the following: The Christmas Story, what God has done throughout this pandemic, and what we are called to do in 2022.

I can’t wait to see where we will go! But before start 2022, I hope you’ll celebrate Christmas either on 12/23 at Waterworks or 12/24 at Hyde Park. There’s also a special meal on Christmas Day at The Portico. Click here to read more about Christmas 2021 offerings.
