Christmas Eve Thank You

Worship
Written By Suzanne Lattanzio

Thank you to all who helped!

2020 was a year like no other, and Christmas Eve 2020 was a night like no other. Frigid temperatures, wind and snow made for a Christmas Eve we will not soon forget. But just like the rest of 2020, God showed up in wonderful and miraculous ways. Even though we were outside in the parking lot and online via Facebook & YouTube, worshipers were greeted with luminaries and HOPE. Christmas carols were led via a screen hung from the side of the building and a virtual praise team – except for “Silent Night” which was sung live a cappella and many worshipers raised their candles high in the air. Families who haven’t been able to worship together since spring were able to “sit” (park) next to each other for the service and Christ’s birth was proclaimed.

The thrill of HOPE was experienced Christmas Eve, and the weary world rejoiced. It truly was a night like no other, and we say a huge “Thank You” to the many people who helped make it happen:
