Christmas 2020

Image

This year will be very different than any year before. We may not gather in the same ways, but we still need to "gather" together to anticipate and then celebrate our Savior's birth. We need to remember what about this time of year is so special, so magical, so awe inspiring that we fall to our knees. We want to hear the message of the Angels, the shouts of little children and the songs of joyful voices. We connect with each other in our shared memories and hopes.

In those aspects, this Advent and Christmas will be the same. We will still find ways to celebrate the joy that is the Incarnation - the astonishing reality where God humbled himself to be born in a manger, all to heal our broken world. A world still very much in need of healing, a world where each one of us can play our part to make the joy of Christmas come alive.

We cannot make this happen without you. Below you will find more details about our Advent and Christmas plans and how each one of you can help to bring Christmas to life.

Share a memory
of a Christmas celebration
at Holy Comforter 
using just three or four sentences.

For example:

"When I was growing up, we always went to the 4 PM Pageant. One year when I was in high school, my Dad announced that he thought it was time for us to go to the grown-up service. My sister started yelling that she needed to see the camel; my mom said that this was the only time she saw some people each year. But my dad still wanted us to go to the late service. The decision was made when my grandmother said, 'The 4 pm is where the kids are, and the kids are what makes it Christmas.' "
