Thinking about this makes me realize just how fortunate we are… we have gifts to give and receive. And we have a Christmas dinner to prepare and enjoy in our nice warm, cozy home. We even have too many party invitations to be able to attend them all so we selectively choose our events and make sure we see our closest friends. Oh and I almost forgot… we have new holiday party clothes to keep us stylishly warm and make a good impression during all these festivities.
We tend not to think about the people we don’t see during this season, the people who aren’t invited to our parties or not part of our immediate circle of friends. Sure we by presents for the Angel Trees, give to the Salvation Army helpers, donate to Toys for Tots and other wonderful charity organizations. And while these are good things to do and things that need to be done, they don’t really affect us on a personal level. So this year I am going to do something extra for Christmas… I’m going to make this year’s Christmas Everybody’s Christmas™.
Everybody’s Christmas™ was started by Crosswalk Worship and Lovers Lane Church Outreach Ministry at Lovers Lane United Methodist Church. It was conceived to be a Christmas eve, eve worship service and grew to become an outreach into the Dallas community to bring in people who wouldn’t normally be able to have a Christmas celebration. What happens on this night is... a dynamic worship service, a free amazing Christmas meal for the community, coat give aways, exciting childrens activities... and much much more. All are welcome, join us if you can. You can watch the video on YouTube.
I hope that Everyone has a very Merry Christmas this year! God Bless.
