Greetings,
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing, for unto us a child is born!
The Family and the Contemporary and the Traditional Christmas Eve services at the Catonsville United Methodist Church have blessed and inspired me. Great music including wonderful solos from Messiah and a rousing “Hallelujah Chorus,” with a wide range of organ music and carols, and the Cherub, Children’s and the new Youth Choirs bringing joy and a sense of real hope at the three services. Rev. Jeff Odom preached a challenging sermon at the Contemporary service, inviting all to accept the Christ Child into our hearts. At the Candlelight service the scripture lessons were interspersed with wonderful music, and Rev. Mark Waddell’s sermon was relaxed but challenging: will we carry the joy and excitement of the Christmas even tinto the days after Christmas, when all is “back to normal.”
Now, it is time to have some Christmas tea, look at the tree and listen to hear Ernestine Schumann-Heink singing “Silent Night”. It is also time to think about each of you and to truly wish and pray for you and yours a
Joyous Christmas and a Blessed New Year !
Yours & His,
DED
