WEEKLY REFLECTION
Grateful hearts this season
12-28-2025 | Rev. Emmanuel I. IhemeduDespite the snow, love still found its way to our annual Open House Christmas celebration. About two hundred parishioners, friends, and families braved the weather and filled the space with warmth, laughter, and the true spirit of Christmas. It was a beautiful reminder that community is stronger than the storm.
I am deeply thankful to everyone who came and shared in this moment of joy. And a special word of gratitude to my dear friend Joyce— whom I called at the last minute—who stepped in with grace, vision, and generosity. She assembled an incredible team and helped create an evening that truly felt magical.
