SUBSCRIBE \ ABOUT  \ DONATE \ CONTACT Presbyterian Outlook COVID-19 news & resources Friends, Merry Christmas and happy new year! I hope your celebrations – in the many shapes they are taking this year – have been meaningful and drawn you close to the light of Christ. As we prepare to enter a new calendar year, we give thanks for the ways we have been able to join and support you in ministry over the course of a very unusual 2020. Whatever the new year holds, we know that God holds it all. Remember: Check our website or follow us on social media to get materials as soon as they are released. You'll find weekly "Looking into the lectionary" reflections, all of the Outlook's COVID-19 news and stories, and our new worship resources here. Blessings to you this Christmas week!
