In this virtual service, we celebrate Christmas Day by considering what it was like for the shepherds to return home. When the presents are unwrapped and the Christmas feasts have been eaten and dishes washed…what now? How do we live out the Good News of Christmas beyond the magical moment of Christmas Day? Also prayerfully consider these words by Howard Thurman…
When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flock,
The work of Christmas begins:
To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among others,
To make music in the heart.
