Celebrating the Birth of Christ

Our Christmas worship services included telling the Christmas story from scripture in a live nativity and the singing of Christmas carols. Special music featured a variety of residents and VMRC staff members. “Don’t be afraid! Look! I bring good news to you – wonderful, joyous news for all people. Your Savior is born today in David’s city. He is Christ the Lord.”

As Hanukkah continues, we pause to reflect on a season rooted in light, resilience, remembrance and enduring hope.

In a world that often feels hurried and divided, Hanukkah reminds us that even a small flame can push back darkness. That steady light reflects values we hold dear: peace, compassion, humility and the dignity of every person.

We extend warm wishes to all who are observing, and we hold space for gratitude, gentleness, and understanding across our shared community. May this season bring moments of rest, connection and renewed commitment to caring for one another.

Chag Sameach. May the light continue to guide us toward peace.
