The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
—Psalm 27:1

​Christmas Pageant - December 11th (10:30 Worship Service) "A Night Like No Other"
​

​"From Advent, through Christmas, to Epiphany, and beyond..."


Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany are seasons of longing, love, and joy. For the Church, Advent is the start of a new liturgical year. When the days are shortest and the nights are darkest, we remember: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it" (John 1:5). We enter into Israel's story, watching and waiting for the coming of the Messiah. Together, we sing: "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel!" Advent reminds us that we are in dire straights and in desperate need of salvation, salvation from sickness, from poverty, from loneliness, from sin.

Then, on Christmas Eve, we come together to celebrate the arrival of the baby, "a Savior, which is Christ the Lord" (Luke 2:11). We sing: "Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright." We light candles, dispelling the darkness and welcoming in the love and joy of Christmas. This year, Christmas Day is particularly special in that it falls on Sunday, the Lord's Day, and we hope that you will join us for worship on Christmas morning. Now, while most of the world around us will take down their lights and pack up their Christmas decorations on December 26th and start setting up for Easter, we know that the celebration of Christmas has only just begun. As the song reminds us, there are "Twelve Days of Christmas!" So don't feel guilty if your Christmas lights are still up after New Year's; they're supposed to be! Take in the twelve days this year by considering ever deeper the gift that we have in Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us.

The Christmas season concludes with the celebration of the Epiphany on January 6th. Epiphany means "manifestation" or "appearance." We sing "We three Kings" and remember the gifts of the Magi to the infant Jesus. During Epiphany and the weeks following, our worship focuses on the Incarnation. We begin with the Baptism of the Lord on January 8th and focus on the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus until the First Sunday of Lent in late February.


We have much to anticipate and much to celebrate over the next several weeks. We welcome you to join us each Sunday throughout these seasons of longing, love, and joy.

​"Advent Study: Birth Narratives from the Bible"

Each Monday evening during Advent, we will be studying a birth narrative from the Bible. The first two birth narratives will come from the Old Testament, focusing on the stories of Moses and the prophet Samuel. The third Sunday of Advent is traditionally Gaudate Sunday or Joy Sunday and focuses on the witness of John the Baptist. So we will learn about his birth during the third week of Advent. Finally, we will turn to the birth of Jesus.

There is no need to buy anything like a book or a study guide for this study. All you need is your bible and an internet connection. The first part of each session will be devoted to reading the birth narratives from Scripture together. Then we will consider what these narratives tell us about God and how they can help us to understand better the birth of Jesus. Join us on the following dates and times using the
