Faith Community Church Christmas celebration

Last Sunday's service was a time of singing traditional Christmas carols in English and Czech, and reading the Christmas story as written in the Bible.

Yes, that's Chris playing guitar with the worship team.


I was asked to read a portion of the scripture.

Funny story about this particular reading- it is Luke 2: 10 -12, the account of the angel Gabriel appearing to the shepherds to announce the birth of Jesus.

"But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a Manger."
When I was in high school, I sang in the senior choir of our church. For one Christmas service, someone thought it would be effective for me to hide behind the organ in an angel costume complete with wings and halo ( as I was the smallest choir member) and at the appropriate time, I would climb a small step ladder to the top of the organ and speak these same verses. :-)

Luckily, Faith Community does not have an organ.......

Wishing you all a very blessed Christmas!
