WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The popular Reindog Parade is going virtual this year. Instead of marching with Santa Claus, pets of all kinds will be able to pose in their holiday fare on WilliNet.

The annual parade down Spring Street has been part of the Holiday Walk in early December. But because of the social distancing to keep the novel coronavirus at bay, this year, the parade is offering an open invitation: all animals are welcome to participate in the 1st Virtual Holiday Walk ReinPET Parade. Let the spirit of the season inspire you!

Send a video or photo of your dog, cat, bunny, bird, hamster, horse, cow, sheep, goat, llama, alpaca, chicken, or pig parading in holiday costume. Dress-up your furry, woolly friend, parade with pride, make a video or take a photo, and complete this submission form to be included in the virtual event. WilliNet will use submissions to produce the virtual parade and premiere it at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5.

Deadline for video/photo submissions is Monday, Nov. 23, at 11:59 p.m. Any questions, email Vee Butler at events@williamstownchamber.com.

There will be a panel of judges to vote on best pet in each category, and the public will choose from those four for best in show.

The Virtual Holiday Walk ReinPET Parade will kick off an hourlong virtual holiday variety show on WilliNet: "HO HO HO Holiday Walk 2020" with performers, elves, interviews, surprises, and Santa, too. The event begins with the pets at 3 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 5, on WilliNet TV Channel 1303 and streaming on willinet.org and WilliNet-TV's Facebook page.

Additional details about this year's Holiday Walk will be shared next week.

Reverend: Christian Nationalists Make Jesus Victim of 'Identity Theft'

David Langston introduces the Rev. Darrell Goodwin on Wednesday morning.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Rev. Darrell Goodwin told attendees at Wednesday's "PrayAction Breakfast" that they need more action to make their prayer effective.

"Sometimes prayer causes us to be in deep reflection," Goodwin told the group gathered at the Williamstown Meetinghouse. "And years and years and years pass, and we've actually done nothing about it.

"Our physical belief system is somehow: Say the words to God, and it becomes God's responsibility, and we've done our part because we've told God exactly what to do."

Goodwin, the president of the United Church of Christ's Southern New England Conference, was invited to Williamstown by First Congregational Church to speak on "The Challenge of Christian Nationalism."

And Goodwin challenged his listeners to take meaningful action to confront and address the ideology in their daily lives.

Christian Nationalism, which Goodwin referred to as White Christian Nationalism, is a perversion of Christ's teachings, he said.

"What does it mean to be spiritually grounded but practically committed?" Goodwin asked rhetorically. "This morning I've been asked to come here to talk about Christian Nationalism, but I think it would be remiss if I didn't say White Christian Nationalism. I want to name all three of these words because each tells us something that we must do.
