Christmas Eve service

As busy as it has been, it seems this has just jumped upon us but folks, we are staring Christmas dead in the face!

I can't wait for tomorrow. I've never considered myself to be an appropriate "theme" style speaker. Meaning that I usually have difficulty preaching by the Calendar. As a Pastor, I do my best to preach Easter, at Easter, Christmas at Christmas, so on and so forth but I've never considered that style of speaking as one of my strengths. I usually attempt to speak what God lays on my heart and He doesn't always follow the Calendar, in my way of thinking. I have covered Christmas this month in a series that I called, "Seeking Treasure." I think it went fairly well but I decided to do something a little different for Christmas Eve.

I've turned my Minister of Music loose and told her to take the day and run with it. Tomorrow will be a day of the music of Christmas along with some instrumentals and some people taking part, for the first time, in special singing. The only thing I have planned for tomorrow is to set back and enjoy and then lead the congregation in Communion. I think it will be pretty cool and I haven't stressed this week over what I'm going to speak. (not that it's always stressful)

I'll let you know how it turns out and if I don't get the chance to tell you in person, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
