This year Christmas falls on Sunday. It is rare and special for us to celebrate the birth of Christ on the Lord's day. We worship on Sunday, the first day of the week, because it was early in the morning on the first day of the week that the women found the empty tomb. Christ is alive!  Every Sunday we celebrate the gift of new life that we have in the God who overcomes death and darkness. 

When Christmas morning falls on the Lord’s Day we put the whole story together.  Christ is born!  Christ is risen!  Theologians have long made the connection between the womb and the tomb.  Both are places of darkness that mysteriously yield new life.  Having gathered in the night to await the birth of God, we gather in the morning to proclaim new life for all creation.      

Join us on this rare and special morning to gather groggy eyed, hear the story in the morning light, and sing the carols once again.
