Christmas Eve Family

[ 0 ] December 22, 2009 |

Christmas familyThis is my family, complete with our son in law just home for Iraq, a rare occurrence when all 13 of us are together.  We are excited about their surprising us for our Sunday 35th anniversary and are equally happy they will be with us at one of our Christmas Eve Candlelight services.  I hope you will join us as well as we mark the Birth of Jesus Christ with Carols, candlelight, the reading of the Christmas story, and the sharing of an important Christmas message, “Simple Christmas”.  We know the  December season is what is should be when January is better because of it.  I sometimes worry we box up the great Christmas news in the attic on January 1st like we box up our Christmas decorations.  Few things end as quickly and completely as a secular Christmas; and few things create a more wonderful new beginning than the Sacred Christmas.  “Born for you this day in the city of  David is a Savior, Christ the Lord!”.
