Christmas Eve has arrived! Light candles. Sing carols. Hear the Good News. Pay attention to how God showed up then so we can recognize how God shows up among us now. On Christmas Eve, one of those signs is glory – the glory of the Christ child in the manger, the glory of angels appearing to shepherds, the glory of God making a home among us in a smelly, scratchy stable. Rejoice in the answer to our longing and waiting!

Pastor Mary’s message is based on Isaiah 9: 2-7 and Luke 2: 1-20.
