Not everyone feels like jingle bells and joy to the world this Christmas or any Christmas. Perhaps this is you, or someone you know.
In recognition of this, we humbly offer this short time of meditation with scripture, song, and a special message entitled, "Bones and Breath," from Minister Amy Grogan. This worship is a contemplative and quiet time of recognizing Christ's birth. We hope that you will share it.
