Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

See you Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!

There are three services of worship at CtK this weekend - two tomorrow evening for Christmas Eve, with the Christmas story from the Gospel according to Luke. There will be lots of great music and the 5:30pm service, especially, will be kid-friendly (of course, we strive to make every service of worship accessible to people of all ages; somehow the "early service" on Christmas Eve always seems especially child-oriented).
Sunday morning at 10am we will gather not only to celebrate the Incarnation of the Word made flesh, (reading from the first chapter of the Gospel according to John), but will celebrate also the resurrection of our Lord - like every Sunday. Worshipers will gather at the Lord's table on Sunday morning.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services will have different readings, music and sermons, so get here Saturday evening and Sunday morning if you can!
God bless you as you finish preparations for the celebration of the Lord Jesus' birth. May his love, peace, and joy be born in you again this year.
