Christmas brings great joy. As it did in Bethlehem long ago, as Luke tells us. But Christmas has a dark underbelly as well. In the way that it challenges the powers of this world that value only their own glory. That reality too, and it’s tragic consequences, are also part of the Christmas narrative. And while it might be a piece we prefer to ignore it’s also the bad news that makes the good news so good.

Today’s worship service will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel at 10:30 am. Join us live, or watch the video here at a later time.
