Merry Christmas!!!!! Oh my heavens what a night! What a year. Our Christmas Eve service tonight marks a years since we first began gathering as a community of faith at the coffee house. It was a Holy night tonight, beautiful music and beautiful people, the Christmas story--the love of God made known to us in the little baby boy. And we laughed and we cried and listened and sang and some of it was familiar and some of it was new and God was there in the coffee shop and the light of Christ was lifted up and people were shining with God's love--amazing and real and holy. Thank you to all of our readers and singers and set-up and take down and our worship crowd---it will not happen without all of us! Thank you God for Kirkwood UCC and alllllllll the people that you claim in this church that is becoming. Thank you God for loving us so much. Thank you my kind friends, sisters and brothers for all of your prayers as we seek to be the community of faith that God is calling us to be...keep them coming. You know that I pray for you every day. Love you.
BTW 63 people crammed into the coffee shop!
