Luke 2:1-20 | Tonight, we welcome the birth of the Christ child. On that first Christmas night, one can only imagine the wonder and awe of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the innkeeper as they gazed upon the holiness of God right in front of them. But even now, Christ comes into our midst, appearing to us wherever we are, all because of a love that transcends understanding. So as you celebrate Christmas, join us for worship, as we are reminded of the promise of Emmanuel – God with us – and as we are given the invitation to be-hold our Lord and King…not just on this oh holy night, but throughout the year.
