This worship service can be used for either Christmas Day or for the Sunday following.
Time passes strangely in this year. It's already time for Christmas, but we may not feel ready for it. In any case, like so many things, Christmas this year will be different. Pastor Amy speaks from the story of the magi visiting the Christ child in Matthew 2:1-12 to help us see that Christmas may be delayed; it may be different; but it will come and God will be with us.
Join us for 38 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, and communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.

We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from being part. Please tell friends, family, and others you know about our online church that is here with doors that are always open, walls as wide as the world, and always room at the table.
