“No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin, where meek souls will receive him, still the dear Christ enters in.”
from “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” by Phillip Brooks, 1868

n Christmas Eve we proclaim with joy the story of Christ’s birth using scripture readings, story-telling hymns and carols, and candlelight. The coming of God into our world is a promise we cling to always, and particularly in this year when we have experienced our world as we knew it turned upside down. Worship is our act of hope, binding us to the God we know has come and will come again. We gathered this year on Zoom from wherever Christmas Eve found us. A video of the service is available on YouTube: Christmas Eve Lessons & Carols
