Sermon: December 26, 2021

The Rev. Dr. Leroy Barber was our guest preacher on Sunday, December 26, 2021. Rev. Dr. Barber reflected on what Jesus’ birth, and his life, initiated. Barber asks, “After we celebrate the wonders of Christmas, what is your plan to work it out?” Where we may be tempted to see the birth of Jesus as the conclusion of a holiday season, instead, it is a call to share a gospel that can change the world actively.

Rev. Dr. Leroy Barber has dedicated 30 years living and working towards what Dr. King called “the beloved community.” An innovator, entrepreneur and lover of the arts, he serves as director of innovation for an engaged church for the Greater NW Area of The United Methodist Church.
