Christmas Eve

 

For many, the Christmas Eve candle light service has been a meaningful, beautiful, and joyous service. Many of us invite family and friends to participate who wouldn’t normally attend a Sunday worship gathering. 

 

But it’s 2020. We can’t gather. We can’t do things we normally would.

 

That doesn’t mean we can’t worship, and dare to hope. It doesn’t mean Jesus can’t reach us where we are and it doesn’t mean he can’t reach our friends and neighbors as well.

 

This Christmas Eve we are going to keep it simple (less than an hour). We are going to have people from the congregation read scripture. Our worship teams will each share a song with us to sing along. Our children are going to work on a collaborative song to share. And after Communion, we will have a special surprise to offer during the candle light vigil.

 

So let’s come expecting to meet Jesus. Let’s feel free to invite our loved ones and neighbors to join us on Zoom. Let’s long for a better day while making the most of what is given us during this season.
