<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grace and Peace to you, from our God and Father, and from his Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pray this worship service, our last of 2020, finds you refreshed in faith after again welcoming the Christ child into our midst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This service of lessons and carols is provided as an opportunity to let the words of scripture provide the message. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grace and Peace,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
