Christmas in Covid

12/9/2020

 
Celebrating the Birth of Christ
My Christmas tree is up, my house is decorated and, thanks to a lovely staycation, my gifts are bought and wrapped! That’s not the only thing that makes this Advent season different from the rest. More than during any other Advent, we are waiting. We’ve been hearing in worship the voices of the prophets, bringing words of instruction, but also words of encouragement to the Israelites who, too, were waiting. Waiting to return to their homeland after generations in exile. We are waiting to hug again, to sing together again, to visit our extended families again. Our exile will end, as well, and we will rejoice at what we have overcome together- while apart. 
 
And so, this Christmas will be unique. We will celebrate differently with our families, and also differently with our church family. We will gather for Drive-in Christmas Eve Worship at 4:30 PM, and will sing the familiar carols from inside our cars (or outside, for the hearty among us) and hear the Christmas story. At 7:00 PM, we will premiere a pre-recorded version of the very same service. Know that whether you worship with us in the parking lot or from your home, you will be able to see Lori at the organ, the Bells of Praise, the Jubilee Praise Team and St. Luke’s Choir. We will celebrate communion together and will light candles while we sing Silent Night. Just like usual...but different. Special. Unique. Blessed.

Vicar Stephanie Luedtke
