Christmas Invitation
This season marks the 200th anniversary of Silent Night. In the Christmas story, what breaks through the silent night at Christmas? As Jesus comes into our world, the first word or noise we hear God make in our world is crying. So what if we make space for silence today to hear the crying in our world?
Pastor Blair offers a Christmas message and invitation in this short two-minute video. Watch her explore the message of "Silent Night" and reflect on the meaning of silence in the story of Jesus' birth and in our lives today.
We hope you'll watch and share it as a way to invite friends and family to our Christmas Eve services.
Plan to include worship in your Christmas Eve plans this year. Our 5:30 service is geared toward families with children. We'll share the nativity story through scripture and the singing of our favorite hymns as the story is acted out. Children will hear a special message and the service will end with candlelight.
Our 7:30 and 11 p.m. services include Pastor Blair's sermon "God Comes Anyway," and concludes with communion and candlelight. The 7:30 service will feature music by our choir; the 11 p.m. service includes an instrumental trio.
May you experience the wonder and joy of the good news that comes to us at Christmas: God is with us! We are not alone.
Peace be with you.
