(Not) Silent Night … A Video Reflection

by 1 Comment

Silent Night, considered the most popular Christmas “hymn” or “carol,” spurred a video reflection we used in our Christmas/Advent presentation of, “It’s (Not) Beginning to Look alot Like Christmas.” Brad posted the video on our You Tube channel. I post it here for your own reflections and thoughts. Feel free to comment. (You may click on the video and be taken to the larger version at You Tube.)

Pastoral Prayer: Loving and Gracious Lord of All, influences in our lives lure us to be observers and consumers. In order to live that way and claim to follow your Son we must de-form the Gospel, the Good News. Remind us today that our Amen is not a verbal affirmation but our response to the call to participate in the invasion of Grace you began in Jesus our Lord.
