In the Bleak Midwinter, Love Is Sent by Rev. Steve Trout
The trees are bare and the ground is partially covered with snow and ice. A tiny little ermine is playing on top of a snow-covered wood pine at the edge of the aspen grove. This is the view out my office window in the mountains of SW Colorado. It is only nine days to Christmas as I write this, and my mind is turning to Carols and Scriptures of the season. My favorite Christmas Carol and Scripture are not what you might think. The Carol is “In the Bleak Midwinter” mostly because of the last verse...

Jesus Is the Reason for the Season! by Sheri Trujillo
This year as we spend time with our loved ones for Christmas and as we are opening gifts, let us remember the real reason we are celebrating and gathering as a family. We are celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The world is too focused on material things and how many presents we get and not really focused on why we celebrate Christmas in the first place.

In Search of the Christmas Spirit by Euphemia Romero
As the Christmas season approaches, songs, films, and TV programs promote a jolly and exciting holiday mood - the Christmas spirit. There are several important parts of that spirit, including remembering Jesus Christ, our Savior, celebrating His birth, sharing in the joy of giving, helping the needy, spending time with family, and promoting peace.

God's Compassion by Rev. Katherine d. Salazar
In my ministry setting as a middle school principal in an urban community, I often find myself overwhelmed by the trauma of everyday situations: drug use among students, social media conflict that spills into the school day, students wrestling with addiction, anger, identity, academics, and basic social norms. Some days I am on campus past 7:00 p.m. waiting for the Children Youth and Families Department or the police because a student’s safety is at risk.
