Here’s a gift for you from DisciplesNet Church. We present the Christmas story in scripture and pictures, followed by a lighting of the Christ Candle on the Advent wreath and the Hallelujah chorus. We hope you will enjoy it on Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day, as a way of touching the true meaning of Christmas.
