Second Sunday of Christmas

Within the gospel reading’s profound words lies the simple message that God is revealed in a human person. Though we may try to understand how the Word existed with God from the beginning of time, the wonder we celebrate at  Christmas is that the Word continues to dwell among us. Christ comes among us in the gathered assembly, the scriptures, the waters of new birth, and the bread and the wine. Through these ordinary gifts we receive the fullness of God’s grace and truth.

Words to Ponder:

What words spoken to you have had an impact, either negatively or positively?
What words of Jesus have you held onto when someone’s words
were hurtful or lacking or absent?

Remember to have a piece or loaf a bread available to take part in Food for the Journey during worship.

The full service was prerecorded to allow for staff vacation. The service will air on the radio and premiere on YouTube at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. Services will return to live streaming on January 10.

Join us on Sunday for the 10 a.m. service.
