Hope y’all have had a great seven out of twelve days of Christmas! 🎄
Our next service will be held on 7 January at 1100 at Smith Lake (same time and location). Enjoy ringing in the new year and remember that the Lord is God over everything. He cares for us and loves us more deeply than we can understand.
The collect (prayer) for tomorrow from the lectionary ODL chaplains reference, “Almighty God, you have poured upon us the new light of your incarnate Word: Grant that this light, enkindled in our hearts, may shine forth in our lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.”

This Sunday takes precedence over the three Holy Days which follow Christmas Day. As necessary, the observance of one, two, or all three of them, is postponed one day.
