The familiar Christmas Carol describes a Silent Night. The beautifully simple melody conveys an atmosphere of quiet holiness at the wonder of God?｢どｨび｢s arrival into our world. And while the night of Jesus?｢どｨび｢ birth may well have been silent, we should not be silent about this night and its special place in our faith.
People in general are more open to spiritual things around the holidays. This time of year provides a special opportunity for us to share Christ with our unchurched friends, family, and neighbors. Some simple things you can do to share the message of Christmas include?｢どｨｬｶ.
?｢どｨｬｶputting a Christmas message on your voicemail.
?｢どｨｬｶtalking to coworkers and friends about Christmas traditions.
?｢どｨｬｶsending Christmas cards that display the true meaning of Christmas.
?｢どｨｬｶinviting coworkers or neighbors to the holiday events in our church.
Of course, one of our church?｢どｨび｢s best events is our Christmas Eve Silent Candlelight Communion Service. While it is a meditative time in which we worship in silence, we should not be silent about it.
During our presence at October?｢どｨび｢s Downtown Block Party we gathered over 450 email addresses of local residents. Next week, each of these people will receive an email inviting their presence at our Christmas Eve Service. I pray that among the recipients will be people who are looking for a church to attend Christmas Eve.
Will you invite someone? Don?｢どｨび｢t be silent about this night! Jay
