About Christmas Eve – We will be using the more traditional “Midnight” Christmas Eve readings even though our celebration will be at 7pm. Christmas Eve is a time to remember the tender grace that was born to mankind in Jesus Christ, a grace that makes its first appearance to us here but that has implications for our entire lives even into eternity.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. (Titus 2:11-14 ESV)
