In the past, a Sunday School Christmas program at our church would include prayers, scriptures, songs and a time for fellowship.
That was before the pandemic.
Last year, in the midst of the pandemic and before the vaccines were widely available, our faith community like many others had to creative in offering worship options. We gathered around our computers to attend virtual services. It was different.
Yesterday, we gathered on our church grounds. We were bundled up in our coats, hats, scarves, and mittens. We had a portal heater that offered additional heat. Although the weather was chilly, it was a glorious sunny afternoon.
What did this gathering look like? Our students read scriptures, offered prayers, sang Christmas hymns, and played Christmas theme games. We even had a Hot Cocoa and S'more stations. Our children even created Christmas cards that they will deliver to a local nursing home.
While our gatherings looked different. In person or virtual ... The Good News continues to be shared! The truth of scriptures does not change.
Our pastor delivered the Good News. A Savior is Born. God Loves Us. He offered a wonderful question. What Gift would Jesus like?
