From 12 27: The Work of Christmas

A version of last weeks email ran as an editorial in the Waltham News Tribune on December 21; read it here.



Rev. Sara is with her family until Jan. 2; she leaves the following passage from theologian Howard Thurman.


The Work of Christmas

by Howard Thurman



When the star in the sky is gone,



When the Kings and Princes are home,



When the shepherds are back with their flocks,



The work of Christmas begins.



To find the lost,



To heal the broken,



To feed the hungry



To release the prisoner,



To teach the nations,



To bring Christ to all,



To make music in the heart.
