Coming Up Sunday, December 30

REMINDER: This Sunday, worship begins at 10:00 am.  There is no Sunday School.

On Sunday, we continue our Christmas celebration.  Just because the presents have been opened, we do not have to stop remembering the birth of Christ.  In worship, there will be plenty of Christmas music, and the beautiful decorations will still be hung to enjoy.

We will also continue our sermon series, "Looking for Home: Faith in the Holiday Season."  This week, we'll consider the Christ child's first trip to Jerusalem, shortly after his birth.  Following Torah, Mary and Joseph took their new baby to the Temple, where they made sacrifices and presented their eldest son.  Looking back at this "Dedication Day," we'll not only witness this traditional Jewish ritual, but hear the surprising prophecies made about Jesus on this day.  And we'll consider what this practice might tell us about finding our spiritual home.
