A Blessed Christmas message from the Church of the Advocate/Red Door Ministry.

It provides you and others you share it with, an opportunity to sing some familiar carols, light your own virtual candle in prayer and be with us. 

In the same way that so many loving people have donated cold weather clothing, blankets, bed rolls and food for the homeless in Asheville- we hope that YOU are warmed by this Christmas message.

Almighty God, you have sent Jesus to take on our nature upon himself and to show us the way of love.  As we celebrate Jesus as the Light of the World, enkindle our hearts, to shine forth his love and light in our lives, especially during these difficult times; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.  Amen

In Christ’s love,

Vicar Dena B. Whalen (The Rev. Dr.), Deacon Timothy M. Ervolina (The Rev.), Brother John Huebner (OSF, Franciscan Missionary Friar), Bill Dockendorf (Warden)
