Advent-Christmas-Epiphany 2018-19 Worship Planning Series

Christmas Eve 2018, Year C

For Christians, Christmas Eve is a moment of open arms— as a midwife who extends her arms to receive the newly born child. As the church, we also extend our arms to receive Jesus once again, with all that he has to offer: an incomparable love, a huge smile, the smile of God over humanity and directed individually at every human being.
