The Promise Illuminated
Our community will gather in person this Christmas Eve to hear the wondrous story of God breaking into the world as a baby is born to Mary & Joseph. There will be three worship services featuring holy communion and candlelight; 3pm, 4:30pm 9pm. Each of the services will be similarly styled and patterned but the two earlier services will include elements also geared for younger children. The 3pm service will be live-streamed and available for viewing online anytime afterwards (see below).
Music
Each of the worship services will feature familiar Christmas hymns, including Silent Night. In addition…
- The Ericksen Family will lead music and offer an anthem at 3pm.
- Jenna Sethi will accompany music and offer anthems at 4:30pm.
- The Chancel Choir will offer anthems at 9pm.
Offering
10% of the offerings we receive on Christmas Eve will be shared with our partners at Lutheran Disaster Response and its partners with the Lutheran World Federation and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, as they provide immediate support for the Palestinian communities in Gaza, East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Saw the wcco sacred spaces segment this morning. I am not a Christian but am moved by your support of the homeless.
So glad your faith inspires you in this way.
