Dear Beloved Community,
On this Christmas Eve, it is my prayer that you find yourself in the presence of those with whom you find life, love, happiness, and fulfillment. It is also my prayer that at some point in the coming week, we all reach beyond ourselves to extend radical hospitality and pursuing justice for the common good in hopes of bringing about transformation. Let us all join together in praying for peace where there is war, hope where there is cynicism, and healing where there has been disaster. On this night where we remember the birth of the Christ child and God became like one of us, let us remember the powerful effect that our love and care for one another can have one the people around us. Let us also pray for those who are grieving, and may be experiencing an incredibly difficult time this year.
Remember that there are no Christmas Eve services at Crossroads (St. Luke's), but you are invited to join us at Metropolitan Memorial (3401 Nebraska Ave. NW) four Christmas Eve (5 PM, 7:30 with communion, and 11:00 PM with prelude music beginning at 10:30). Come and join us as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.
December 26: We will NOT gather for worship on December 26. We will meet again on Sunday, January 2 at 5 PM.
Small Group: The Thursday group will NOT meet this week but will resume in early January.
May God grant you peace on this most joyful day.
Merry Christmas,
Jimmy Sherrod
