​Dear WA Community,  One thing that marks the Christmas season is tradition. At our house, we have old family ornaments that must go on the tree, the making of spritz cookies, and the Christmas morning scripture reading. Our family reads John 1:1–18 as we consider the wonder and good news of Christmas—the gift of salvation through the birth of Jesus Christ. John writes that “the true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.” In this way, the coming of the Christ fulfilled the promise in Isaiah 9:2, “the people living in darkness have seen a great light.”...

​​Dear WA Community,  This Sunday marks the 21st anniversary of the terrorist attacks against our nation. While it is difficult to fully understand the impact of 9/11 on our culture, each of us bears its mark. Perhaps buoyed by the rallying cry of “Never Forget” or inspired by the accounts of remarkable courage, dedication, and heroism, the memories of that day and those that followed are forever seared in our conscience. All of this is captured by the memorial in New York City, a trip that is worth every American’s time. On Sunday, the families of those lost will gather to read...
