“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,

stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

Dr. Seuss

Christmas 2020

Christmas is here.

Christmas comes without large family gatherings, without gatherings in sanctuaries, without presents.

Christmas comes in times of sickness or health, in times of social distancing and masks.

Christmas comes in times of plenty and want.

Christmas comes with Skype and Zoom and facetime and cards.

With love and prayer, and family and friends.

Christ is born in our hearts.

We are the manger.

We carry the light. Amen.

You are invited to join the Broad Bay Church online at 7:30 on Christmas Eve for our first ever virtual Christmas Pageant. FMI: Broadbayucc@gmail.com.

May you sense the light and love of Christ in the midst of whatever this season brings.
