Dear St. Christopher’s Family,
I hope you have all had some quality time with your families or even just for yourself these last couple of weeks. Christmas celebrations, even in a small church (or perhaps especially in a small church) take an enormous effort from a great many people. I cannot thank enough Becky and the Choir, Nancy and the Altar Guild, Holly and the Children’s Ministry Team, our Greeters and Ushers, our OSL Prayer team, and all those who pitched in in new ways to make our celebrations happy and holy.
We also start a new chapter in the story of our diocese. Bishop Price, whom we elected in May, is now formally the Ordinary, or main, bishop of Dallas. On a personal level, this makes me hopeful. While it will not change much in our daily lives at StC's, I believe that his priorities for diocesan ministry will strengthen our common ministry and make us a stronger church. If you'd like to learn more about his pastoral vision, I commend to you his pastoral letter of January 1, linked below.
The new year is bright for us at St. Christopher's. We are growing. More people are seeing us as a bright spot in our neighborhood. It is clear we have Good News to share with our neighbors and that we are a place so many of us can call home. I pray for each of you that 2026 brings you many blessings and that God will look with favor on the ministry we share together.
