PROGRAM NOTE
Tonight’s program celebrates the incarnation of Christ, the Light of the World,
through scripture readings and musical selections that frame the Christmas
narrative within the larger context of the gospel story. Just as the glorious dawn
at midnight brought joy to the humble shepherds two millennia ago, so today
the light of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ dawns in our hearts, offering joy
and hope to all who believe
