A little country church - very little - seating perhaps 50 comfortably. Candles in birch logs in the windows, oil lamps for light, a well decorated Christmas tree in the corner, a pump organ for music, a wood fire for heat. More than 75 people gathered tonight from 5 years old to 85, to hear again the reading of the Christmas Story, to sing the old familiar carols and some lively Christmas songs, to laugh and pray and praise, to share hot chocolate and Christmas baked goodies. And then we stepped out into the crisp dark night under a canopy of stars...no problem of city light contamination here! Wow! Sometimes it just doesn't get much better ... Thank you, Lord.
