Advent is almost over. Weâve prepared on the four Sundays in Advent and on three Wednesdays. Tonight, Wednesday we will not have an Advent Service. Instead, we look forward to Friday night, Christmas Eve. We will have a traditional Candlelight Service of Lessons and Carols at 6pm.
Our theme for Christmas Eve comes from a thought-provoking comment by Martin Luther: âThere is such richness and goodness in Jesusâ nativity that, if we should see and deeply understand, we should be dissolved in perpetual joy.â
Sometimes faithful Christians are tempted to be âelder brothersâ as Jesus warned in Luke 15:29-32. We criticize what some call âChristmas & Easter Christians.â But, arenât we all Christmas and Easter Christians?! We rejoice in the birth of Jesus and we live by His death and resurrection. If we come to worship more regularly than some others, it should only be because we delight to hear again and again of Jesus our Savior.
If you cannot be among God's people in person Christmas Eve, you can join us by Zoom.
