Catching Up with Pastor Candy
This week, I had the privilege of joining with two dynamic colleagues -- Pastor Nina of Epworth United Methodist Church and Pastor Suzanne of Blessed Trinity Lutheran Parish -- for our annual observance of the "Blue Christmas." This service (also called Quiet Christmas or The Longest Night) creates a space for those who are struggling to discover some Christmas peace. It's an honor to create that space, and a joy two work with these two fellow clergywomen!

Meals for BES
This year, our church will once again be supporting the work of the Bethlehem Emergency Shelter (BES) -- and you can help make it happen! Once each month, we provide hot meals, monitor the shower schedule, and offer a loving presence to the guests of the shelter. We will be serving our next meal on Monday January 16. We'll be at the shelter from 4 PM to 9 PM, but shorter shifts are available to fit your schedule. To get involved, please contact our coordinator Becky Hess.
