During this Christmas season, we felt it only appropriate to recognize the faith leaders who offer hope, encouragement and spiritual support to our community throughout the year. If you do not already have a place of worship, we hope you will join them this Advent as we celebrate the arrival of the promised Messiah and the Good News of the gospel.
