Merry Christmas!

It’s your friendly neighborhood worship leader Brody guest-blogging today.  I want to invite you to our Children’s Christmas musical this Sunday at 10 AM.  It’s called “Crazy Busy Peaceful Holy Night”. I know you’ll be blessed by the singing and acting, so don’t miss it!

I can really relate to the first two words in this title - crazy & busy.  I’m sure you can too! It’s always crazy busy this time of year, with shopping, parties, traffic, visiting relatives, and the list goes on.  This Sunday, we’re going to look back at the FIRST Christmas, and realize that it was crazy busy for Mary, Joseph and Jesus as well! I think we often romanticize the Christmas story, and the carols we sing reinforce that fact.  Was it really a silent night?  Did the little Lord Jesus no crying he make? I don’t think so.
