After weeks of waiting and wondering, the light breaks through. Not in the places power expected. Not with the fanfare empire demands. But in a stable, among shepherds, wrapped in vulnerability itself.
Today is the sacred celebration of Christmas Eve, as we gather around the manger and remember: the light that came into the world that night still rises. In every generation. In every dark season. In us.
The service includes Christmas carols, music from choir, organ, and brass, holy communion, and a Christmas Eve meditation from Pastor Julie. We conclude with the lighting of congregational candles.
