It's 10:15 on Thursday night as I write this...the final rehearsal
for Christmas Eve services has just ended. Musicians, vocalists, and
actors are heading home, and the guys doing all the lighting cues are ordering
pizza and preparing to work for a few more hours. Don't feel too sorry
for them, it's become sort of an annual tradition. I think they like it.
There's a link at the bottom of this email that gives you all the
information about times and dates for Christmas Eve services, along with
information about nursery care, etc. I’ve also added a photo I took at
rehearsal. I'm not going to give much away...it's just something to pique
your interest!
We make Christmas Eve services kind of a big deal, and there are
some good reasons for that. If we're about anything at this church, we're
about Following Jesus Christ. Jesus is the hinge of history. He is
the Hope of the oppressed. He is the One who inspires. He is the
King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. He is the greatest teacher
who ever lived. He sparked the greatest movement that has ever
spread. He offered the greatest gift that has ever been given. He
mastered life. He conquered death. He alone overcame sin. He
is the Son of God. He is the Saviour of the world. Those are just a few
reasons why we unashamedly go all out to celebrate His birth.
I hope to see you at one of the four presentations of "The Glory
Of It All," Monday the 23rd @ 7 pm, or Tuesday the
24th @ 3, 5, or 7 pm.
Merry
Christmas everyone!Greg
