We celebrated communion on Christmas Eve and Christmas just like other Christian churches did all over the world.
There’s a unique irony that we tell the story of Jesus’ birth through song, scripture and storytelling and then we fast-forward 33 years to the night that Jesus was arrested for the trial that led to his crucifixion and resurrection.
This is the only time of the year when we can experience both ends of the story and still feel joy! We are joyful to relive this wonderful birth story and we joyfully go and tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born!
We’re also joyful because this meal reminds us that Jesus died on the cross to save us to give us everlasting life!
Be joyful and have a Merry Christmas!
