Rerelease of our most popular episode, Merry Christmas!

Christmas time is here . . . and we would like to share with you some Christmas cheer.   Jonette and Jason share some of their favorite Christmas memories and offer to you a Christmas story given from the mouths of babes.   A special thanks to the Ephrata Community Church, who produced and allowed us to share this adorable telling of The Christmas Story by children in their congregation.  Following the story is a play-list of some of our favorite Christmas music perfect for the ride to Grandmas house or simply to listen and meditate, by the light of your living room Christmas tree.   We wish you Pease, Love, and Joy during this very special holiday, Merry Christmas!

Rev. Chris Eden is the pastor of Otterbein United Methodist Church and Jason Burgess is the Media Specialist for OUMC. These two are happy to present to the congregation and beyond, something to engage the ears and hearts, as well as, mind, body, and spirit. This season will focus on an important mission: OUMC’s collaboration with various city and county organizations to build a much-needed low-barrier emergency shelter for individuals in our community experiencing homelessness. We will chronicle the journey of building this shelter from the ground up. Along the way, you’ll meet neighbors both with and without housing, as well as community leaders who are already working to care for unhoused individuals, providing resources and case management, and addressing the need for affordable housing.

Join us on this journey of compassion and commitment as we adapt our long-standing dedication to this community, now with a new shelter ministry in mind.

Listen to the podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or via our website.

Let’s build hope together!
