“Star of WONDER star of Light” John Henry Hopkins Jr.
“The roots of ultimate insights are found…on the level of wonder and radical amazemant, in the depth of awe, in our sensitivity to the mystery.”
- Abraham Joshua Heschel, God in Search of Man
Dear friends and families of Christ Conyngham Lutheran church,
I asked a question on Christmas Eve……… Are We Open to WONDER? This year I would like to assure all of us that we are. We will have a “WONDER BOARD” placed stratigically in the church for us to display pictures of WONDER in our lives. We will change them every month to give everyone the chance to participate.
These images will be about any time we feel the WONDER and AWE of our Triune GOD. We can think of the year 2026 as the year of WONDER at Christ Conyngham. They might bre pictures of Nature, family, friends, pets etc. Let’s be creative. One of mine will be a picture of the scene behind our Church. Another will be a Scene from the live Nativity. There are spo many things that make theh hair rise uo on my arms when I am in fellowship with all of you. I believe that this will be a spiritually upliffting experience.
Moving into 2026 we have our new pictorial directory in the works. I invite all of us (even those of us that DO NOT like our pictures taken) to be a part of this project. I cannot wait to see thte finished product.
My prayers are that all of us experience a great deal of Wonder and Awe throughout this New Year. I also pray that during difficult times, we can continue to love and support each other. May the Bethlehem star light our paths and lead us in directions that God would have us travel.
With sincere thanks for all of your generosity with gifts and goodies this Christmas season…….YUMMMM!!
Love, Pastor Cindy, Hardy and Gabriel (wish I could add paw prints)
