Sunday, 2 January, is the 9th Day of Christmas. We need at least the Twelve Days of Christmas to celebrate and give thanks for the Child Born for Us.

The Church’s Year and the world’s calendar year coincide on 25 December for Christmas Day and 1 January for the Naming of Jesus. St. Luke explains how the Naming takes place on the 8th Day of Christmas: “And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb” (2:21). Give thanks that our Savior takes the Name Jesus, “for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).

In regular Worship Sunday, 2 January, the 9th Day of Christmas, we will focus on the significance of Jesus’ Name and our own Baptismal naming.

Fellowship will follow the Service as usual, and we’ll together decide whether to resume our study of Isaiah in Bible Study this Sunday or next Sunday on the 9th of January.

May God make it possible for you to join us in person or on Zoom at 9am this Sunday for hearing God's Word and offering prayer, praise, and thanksgiving to God.

If you cannot be among God's people in person this Sunday, you can join us by Zoom.
