A COVID Christmas

Posted on December 26, 2021 by KWSherer

The word was made flesh and dwelt among us – full of grace and truth.

*Ready and waiting for the Christ Child*.

*The voice of the organ strengthens our voices,*

*Reading the story, with the images of those online surrounding us.*

*Joe Lill, trumpet and Mio Nakamura, piano. Thank you to all our musicians!*

*The Peace Light from Bethlehem shines over the Light of the World.*
