The Celebration of Christmas December 24, 2021 - January 5, 2022

2021-2022 Church Year Calendar Our Sacred Roots: The Priesthood of All Believers

“a Temple where God is loved”

Christmas celebrates the birth of Messiah, Jesus, who is the incarnation of the Son of God, Mary’s child. He is the Word made flesh, the conqueror who enters this fallen world to reveal to us the Father’s love, to destroy the devil’s work, and to redeem his people from their sins.

Zechariah 2.10-11 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in your midst, declares the LORD.

And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people. And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

At Christmas , believers worldwide celebrate the birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem, the Lord Jesus Christ. We affirm with the Holy Scriptures and the creed that the same Jesus born of Mary is truly God’s only begotten Son, the Messiah to come into the world. In this lowly child we will behold the love of God revealed for all humankind. In him alone the enemies of God will be defeated, and all creation restored. This babe of Bethlehem will rescue his people and fulfill the prophecy of a Savior who comes to make an end of sin and war, to destroy the devil, and to establish God’s Kingdom worldwide.
