Dear Friends,

As we approach Advent 4 and Christmas Eve, both this Sunday, we will be greeted by God’s love and God’s light in Bethlehem. Yet, the path this week has most recently included flooding roads, leaking roofs, fallen trees, and a number of our flock without heat and electricity. I’m grateful for the way this congregation checks on one another and supports one another in the dark and cold places.

For those of you who are on the move for the Christmas holiday, whether by plane, train, or automobile, we send you with prayers for safe travel and blessings upon the gift of time together. Whether you are local or away for this Christmas, I hope you will join in worship on Sunday. We will praise God in the morning and praise God at night!

Join in Advent 4 worship at 10am, or join in the Christmas Eve Candlelight service at 7:30pm, or join in worship at both of these special services. Each service will be filled with beautiful Christmas carols, prayers, God’s love and light, and very, very Good News!!

Our Sunday services at 10am and at 7:30pm will both be streamed online.

Know, Beloved, that the best gift you can bring to Jesus Christ–God Incarnate–is yourself.

Just as you are.

Advent and Christmas blessings,

Diane
