Season’s Greetings–Christmas Letters From Those Who Were There

The Sunday sermons this season are in the form of letters written by biblical characters on the subject, “What Christmas Means to Me.” Well researched and creatively rendered, the letters are excerpted from Pastor Boling’s forthcoming Advent/Christmas publication, Season’s Greetings: Christmas Letters from Those Who Were There, to be published by Upper Room Books in 2024. The letters are dramatically presented during worship by different readers.  The series concludes on Dec. 24 with the following:

At the 8:00PM Christmas Eve Candlelight Service of Lessons and Carols, Pastor Ruth Boling will present, Jesus: One Divine Detail.
