"As we continue to move toward Christmas, we are remembering the words to a song we forgot we knew, a future we forgot we believed in. In the midst of stories of conflict and competition, we are being invited to tell a different story, a story of God’s coming peace that has already come--a Prince of Peace born among us, a Spirit of peace poured out on us. We who have allowed that story to get under our skin and have invited that Spirit into our lives are filled with the power of God’s future breaking into our present... So as we walk out these doors, out into this neighborhood, and out into the season ahead, let us walk in the light of the Lord. Let’s join in the story of God’s coming peace, and join in the song of God’s coming future."
