A COVID Christmas

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.
Silent Night, Holy Night
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.
Here come the kings!
