Lessons and Carols for the First Sunday of Christmas

As we celebrate the Twelve Days of Christmas, our gospel today confronts us with the death of innocent children at the hands of Herod. The birth of Christ does not remove the power of evil from our world, but its light gives us hope as we walk with all the “holy innocents” of past generations and today who have suffered unjustly. In our gathering around word and meal, God continues to redeem us, lift us up, and carry us as in days of old. Scott Heller will lead us in singing your favorite Christmas hymns one more time while Vicar Grace Fay will preach. The service will begin with 15 minutes of music & meditation.
