Christmas Eve

Christmas eve morning we went to church. It was so wonderful. I got to help lead worship and it felt so good to be serving in that capacity again! Bud Miller's sermon was very powerful. I was barely able to make it through the closing song because of the tears. If you get a chance, listen to it on CCC's website!

After church we made some cookies and a birthday cake for Jesus. I forgot to get pictures of the cake. We spent some time talking about the cake and again why we celebrate Christmas and then Tom read Luke 2. The kids loved singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. It was a lot of fun.

That evening, we went to the Christmas Eve service at church. It was beautiful time, with a harpist playing while families took communion together. Then we sang Christmas carols. It was the first time we've been in town for the service and I was so glad we were able to be a part of it.
