Wednesday, December 24, 2025 – Christmas Eve

Theme for the Day: Christ Is Comfort And Joy
Christmas Season Theme: Tidings of Comfort and Joy, In the Grace of Jesus Christ

Readings: Luke 2:1-20

On this holy night, we gather at the manger once more, drawn by the same hopes and longing that filled the hearts of shepherds long ago. Christmas Eve invites us to pause and ask: Why are we here tonight? What are we looking for? What are we hoping for this Christmas?

We often hear that this night is especially for children. Indeed it is, for it is a night for the children of God, for the child of God living in each one of us. God delights in watching his children filled with anticipation and wonder, even when our own hearts are weary or uncertain.

Just as the shepherds were keeping watch in the midst of demands and unknowns, we arrive with our own burdens and questions. Yet the angels still sing, the good news still breaks forth, and the Christ Child still comes with grace that exceeds every expectation. Tonight we go with haste, trusting that God gives more than we imagined, filling us with the finest tidings of comfort and joy.
