Sunday, January 4, 2026 – The Second Sunday After Christmas

Theme for the Day: Comfort And Joy, Alive And Among Us
Season Theme: Tidings of Comfort and Joy, In the Grace of Jesus Christ

Readings: John 1:1-18

Christmas Day may have passed, trees may be coming down, and decorations may already be packed away, but the promise of Christmas is far from over. Even as our homes return to their usual rhythm, the Gospel of John reminds us of a gift that cannot be boxed up, broken, misplaced, or stored until next season.

“The Word became flesh and lived among us.”

This is the lasting truth of Christmas. Tidings of comfort and joy have not faded. They are alive, present, and dwelling with us now. Emmanuel, God with us, continues to shine light in our darkness, continues to speak grace into our days, continues to give hope that does not waver.

As we step into a new year, we are blessed to celebrate the One who is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His gifts do not expire or wear out. His presence does not retreat. Christ remains with us, full of grace upon grace.
