We have a gift for you this Christmas. We’ve prepared so that you can experience the joy and wonder of Christmas the way you did when you were a little child. Come in from the darkness into a place filled with lights, greenery, trees and colored glass. Come in from the cold to a place filled with the warmth of human relationships and a deep sense of welcome and belonging. Come in from the noise and clamor to a place in which the music reflects the glory of God in the highest. Come in from a world preoccupied with gloomy news to a place where the message is filled with hope, joy, love and redemption. Come in from the harsh and unforgiving world to a place filled with forgiveness and grace.
We’ve done all this for you as a Christmas gift. You can come in from wherever you are to a place that will bring the joy of Christmas to your heart. Hear again the story, reenacted by children. Hear again the familiar carols and magnificent anthems. Hear again the invitation to take, eat and drink of the holy sacraments available to all who seek them. We have a gift for you. Come in and receive God’s gift waiting for you this Christmas.
