A Christmas Message from Lorraine
As Christmas day draws near, we are reminded of the profound message of hope, love, and renewal brought to us in the birth of Jesus Christ. In a humble manger, God chose to dwell among us, embracing humanity with all its joys and struggles. This miraculous act of love reminds us that even in the simplest and most unexpected places, God is at work, bringing light into the world.
This Christmas, may we open our hearts to the wonder of Emmanuel—God with us. Let us carry forward the spirit of Christ’s birth by embodying hope in uncertain times, extending love to those in need, and working together for peace and justice in our communities and beyond.
As a conference, we are blessed to journey together, supporting one another and living out Christ’s call to be light-bearers in the world. May the joy of this season inspire us to continue our mission with renewed faith and a shared vision for a more compassionate and inclusive world.
May the peace of Christ fill your hearts and homes this Christmas and throughout the coming year.
Merry Christmas and blessings to you all!
With love and gratitude,
Rev. Lorraine Ceniceros
Conference Minister
Kansas-Oklahoma Conference
