Love is Born Tonight

 



We’ve arrived at Bethlehem.  We have once again made our way to the stable where hope, peace, joy, and love culminate and come together in human form overflowing with the Divine.  God enters our world tonight to awake our awareness of the original goodness for all creation, God’s prayerful plea and purpose for life.  We are on the cusp of proclaiming good news of great joy for all the world.

 

I pray you will join in one of our Christmas Eve services.

 

5 pm is outdoors and will feature: Betsy Traba (flute) and Fernado Traba (bassoon).  Greg will lead us in singing for all Sarasota to hear.  Preludes start at 4:45 pm and we will sing Silent Night as the sun is setting…BEAUTIFUL!!

 

8 pm is in the sanctuary AND online.  Meghan Jones (violin) and Natalie Helm (cello), along side our amazing choir will once again soak the walls of our sanctuary with the sacredness of this night.  Preludes start at 7:45 pm and children will process the Creche/manger scene.  We will share the light of Christ and sing, Silent Night.

 

Fellowship time hosted by COLLAGE.  You are welcome to stay after 8 pm or come early for the 11 pm service.

 

11 pm is in the sanctuary featuring communion and our voices singing carols to the glory of God.  We will close the service going out into Sarasota singing, Silent Night.

 

All services, I pray will help you remember YOU are God’s beloved.  Within you there are flames of hope, peace, joy, and love that the world needs today.  We will be drenched in candlelight at all services singing, “Silent Night”.  For onto YOU…yes you…a child is born.  Onto YOU…yes you…God’s love enters our lives tonight.  Onto You…yes you…your soul feels its worth on this night.  See you at one of the services.  Amen.
