We are having a 6:30 P.M. Christmas Eve candlelight service followed by a church-wide potluck dinner. Guests are expected and welcomed - and it is a great evening of praise and worship, friendship and fellowship for all. It will be over around 10.

We are not having a Sunday morning service on Christmas.

And I think this is a fine thing, indeed.

It seems that instead of a strong group of friends, all sharing the same faith, beliefs and love of the lessons learned from the Bible; many churches are little more than a lose collection of casual acquaintences. Some of the older people recognize others that they have seen for years - but instead of embracing fellow members as friends and extended family - we’ve lost a great deal of what binds us together as a community of Christ.

Just a personal observation.
