Dear Members, Visitors, and Friends of the Congregation,
     Before all else, Kitty and I want to thank you for your prayers and support during these recent weeks as I have struggled to recover from pneumonia. I’m glad to say that I’m feeling better and that I am looking forward being with you on Christmas Eve!
     And indeed, on Christmas Eve, we will celebrate the birth of the Holy Child of Bethlehem with a Candlelight Communion Service of Worship at 5:00 PM. A special Prelude will begin at 4:30 PM. The service will be live streamed so that as many as possible can worship on Christmas Eve.
     The attached prayer is a Christmas Eve prayer that I have prayed down through the years and I will pray again during our ZOOM Worship Time tonight, December 21, at 7:00 PM. Perhaps it remains a prayer you can pray or use in some way.
     May God continue to grace us with hope and peace not only in this season, but in each and every season,
Pastor Halenza
