Today is the first Sunday after Christmas Day and we are closing out our Advent/Christmas sermon series, "Where We Belong." On Christmas Eve, Pastor Michael preached about the interesting opening to John's Gospel and what it really means that the "Word was made flesh."

Also today during our worship time together we will be singing some songs, sharing in some liturgy (don't worry, it's all in the bulletin - see link below), lifting some prayers, and hearing some Scripture readings.

Good evening and Merry Christmas Eve to you and those you hold in your heart, tonight and every night. It is Christmas Eve!!! And we are excited to celebrate together with you (with as much or little participation as you wish to engage in, no expectations from us) the coming birth of our Savior, Jesus! While the church year has just begun, the joy of the season can be a wonderful way to close out the calendar year. But we also recognize that for some people, this time of year is not one of joy or happiness, but instead of time of sorrow or mourning. If you are struggling this holiday season (or any other time of year), please reach out to us and let us know how we can help support you. You are a beloved child of God, a sibling of Jesus Christ, made in the image of God, and therefore beautiful just the way you are. God's love for you in unconditional and never ends. God loves EVERYONE, and we embrace that here at Stony Creek UMC.
