Holy Ones,
Christmastime is here. We have come through our Advent time of HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and LOVE. Advent, a time of waiting. Our perpetual state of waiting for the time that is perpetually here.
God has shown up and continues to show up through each of us, if we allow it. Every Sunday, when I look at you, I see it. Last week, our focus was seeing God in each other. We sang, “You Are the Face of God.” I truly believe that you are the face of God.
Christmastime IS here. A celebration of the birth of something new.
This Saturday at 6 pm we celebrate Christmas Eve with a Lessons and Carols service. My dear friend, world-renowned performance artist Carly Ozard, will be our guest musician gracing us with their radiant light and beautiful powerful voice: https://www.carlyozard.com/. Invite friends to join us in person or online for a night divine. Christmas Sunday we will sing favorite Christmas hymns and songs suggested by the community, with a personal testimony of why.
Why? Why not? This is how God shows up.
I look forward to seeing you in person or on Zoom at 6 pm Christmas Eve Saturday or at 10 am Christmas Day.
Merry Christmas!
Rev. Michael Cronin
