A Promise Kept At Christmas

We approach the worship of God this evening with a hushed awareness of Christ's presence in our midst. God again breaks through the calm and darkness to reveal himself to us in the stillness of our hearts.

-- from the order of worship



Light and darkness is a powerful biblical metaphor to talk about God's compelling activity in the world. This Christmas Eve resource focuses on this metaphor.



A Promise Kept At Christmas offers congregations a complete order of service with suggested carols, lighting of Advent candles, and scripture readings from the Old and New Testaments using a narrator and lay readers.



Scriptures are from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
