Keeping Christ in Christmas: Daring to go Deeper with Dr. Reginald Davis

Keeping Christ in Christmas has been a popular saying for years, but how do we do it? How do we go beyond cliché sayings that sound good to actually celebrating the holidays differently? How do we keep Christ in Christmas without simply adding more church stuff to our list and stressing out?

Join us for a delightful conversation with Pastor Reginald Davis of Historic First Baptist Church in Williamsburg. We talked about letting the lights remind us to let our light shine in how we treat people. We also visited Mary and Martha and how we are more alike than different.

Dr. Reginald F. Davis, Pastor of the Historic First Baptist Church in Williamsburg, Virginia holds a Master of Divinity degree from Colgate Rochester Divinity School in New York and a Doctorate in Humanities, with a concentration in African American Studies from Florida State University.
