Closing Thoughts  

Let me not wrap, stack, box, bag, tie, tag, bundle, seal or keep Christmas. Christmas kept is liable to mold. Let me give Christmas away, unwrapped, by exhuberant armfuls. --Linda Felver

Christmas Meditation

That first Christmas changed a world and alters it again if we keep Christmas, not just on the day, but in the year, by what we do and say. you have made all the peoples of the earth for your glory, to serve you in freedom and peace. For that to happen, I--we--must believe not just in God in heaven, but God on earth, God in me and you: Love born in our hearts, practiced in the mangers of our world. It's up to us to keep the Christmas. For this we pray. Amen. 

-Father Tom Garrison

About Us

At Saints Martha & Mary we have a team approach. Each week you get to hear from a different voice. We believe different perspectives help our congregation see the many ways Christ's word and works are alive in the world. Remember, that you, too, can make a difference for others:

Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours.
