Merry Christmas from ANEW2

 The ANEW2 Christmas Party via Zoom was fun. We had a couple rounds of Advent Bingo and a dynamic talk by Hannah Curtis. She spoke of her passion for sharing Christ, working for justice, and widening our definition of the Divine and of our role in the Kingdom. 

You can view the video of her talk here.


The Christmas goodies handout can be downloaded so you can enjoy some of these yummy recipes this year. (If you have one you forgot to share--through the magic of technology, we can still add it!)
