Symbols of Christmas

SYNOPSIS: This Sunday our Youth and Family Ministry will lead us in an exploration of the symbolism and meaning of Christmas.

FEATURED MUSICIAN: Youth of Unity

TAKEAWAYS: ​There is nothing like experiencing Christmas through the eyes of a child.  Can you open your heart to your child within, allowing a new fresh experience of Christmas?  Let yourself love the sounds, the lights, the connections with one another as you feel a sense of wonder and awe.  Even int he midst of sadness, there can be a newfound sense of Joy for the gift of living and of loving.  Let the Peace of Christmas enfold you.

PODCAST:

What better way to celebrate Christmas than through the eyes of a child. Join us this Sunday as our kids from our Youth & Family Ministry lead us on a magical journey with the Symbols of Christmas. There will be a special guided meditation taking us back to Bethlehem and the birth of the Christ Child. Your heart will be opened. We’ll also sing some Christmas Carols.
 
Our musicians are Patsy Cameron on keyboard; Jim Turner on guitar and Dagan Williamson on drums.
 
Be sure to be with us a week from today, Christmas Eve for our Candlelight Service at 7 p.m.  Our featured soloists are Rob Rohlmeier and Mark Soss. Childcare will be provided. Bring your family and friends for this inspirational and uplifting program.
 
I give thanks for many things, one of them being you. Thank you for being in the world. Your life matters. May you experience the peace, joy and goodwill to all this season celebrates.
 
Merry Christmas,
