After 15 years of silence, we again aim to post more regularly on this blog. As a way of update, the current board members are: Zach Atwood (President), Andrew Letsche (VP), Ezra Lortz (Treasurer), Leif Martin (Volunteer Coordinator), Cosette Gaukler (Secretary), Alex Paradiso (Event Coordinator), Libby Deacon (Social Media Coordinator). We have had a very blessed year, and are just about wrapping it up. Our support this year went to Tiny Heart Ministries in the first semester. They are a local pro-life organization that leads mission trips to cities in the USA.

Today, December 28th, has traditionally been celebrated as the Feast of the Holy Innocents, the day when the Church remembers the babies so brutally slain by Herod in his quest to kill the Christ. This day serves as an opportunity to remember, honor, and pray for all those whom the tyrants of this world destroy in their quest to steal Christ's crown and stamp out His Church. As we reach the end of another year in which our brothers and sisters have suffered and died, often unknown and unheeded, let us not forget to pray constantly for those who still suffer and bear witness for Christ, and to honor the memories of those who have been faithful unto death. Let us remember that Herod and all his imitators have been dethroned by Christ, and pray that we would see this made more and more visible as the saints bear witness to King Jesus.
