 Articles will begin being posted on Thanksgiving November 28, 2013 

We hope you enjoy our 4th Annual The Gift.  Stories, lectures and articles are from your local Williamsburg area Faith Leaders.  This page is called “The Gift” because these articles were given to WilliamsburgFamilies.com to share with the greater Williamsburg Community.  They are meant to provide to the community a true representation of the diversity of topics and thoughts available at local houses of worship during this Holiday Season.

This patchwork of stories, lectures and articles will hopefully create a quilt where everyone can find some peace this Holiday Season.

If you are a local church leader and you would like to contribute please email Olivia@williamsburgfamilies.com.
