Why Christmas Eve? (Part 3)
To Push Back Against Loneliness
Loneliness was called an epidemic before 2020. The most digitally connected generation is the most relationally disconnected. This year has only made it worse.
We celebrate Christmas Eve to be reminded that Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. We’re never truly alone because our Savior has come to dwell with us. His Spirit accompanies and comforts us at all times in all places.
We also celebrate Christmas Eve because health orders restrict many of our normal interactions. What a gift that we can meet safely as a church during the pandemic! We want to lay hold of the blessings of fellowship and invite the lonely to enjoy it too.
Join us next week as we celebrate our ever-present Savior and enjoy one another’s company.
We’ll gather at 6:00pm in Old Towne Orange on Thursday, December 24th.
