    Carrying Christ Forward
    Dec 26 2025
    Scripture

    Colossians 1:27 (NRSVUE)

    Christ in you, the hope of glory.



    Refrain

    Christ lives in me.



    Quote / Poem

    Richard Rohr

    “The Christ Mystery

    is not something to admire from a distance.

    It is something to participate in.

    God has chosen to dwell

    not merely among us,

    but within us—

    so that divine love

    might continue to take flesh

    in the world.”

    Emmanuel
    Dec 25 2025
    Scripture

    Matthew 1:23 (NRSVUE)

    “Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,

    and they shall name him Emmanuel,”

    which means, “God is with us.”



    Refrain

    God is with us.



    Quote / Poem

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer, from *God Is in the Manger*

    “God is not ashamed of the lowliness of human beings.

    God marches right in.

    God chooses people as his instruments

    and performs wonders where one would least expect them.

    God is near us—

    in the midst of our lives.”

    Born in the Ordinary
    Dec 24 2025
    Scripture

    Luke 2:6–7

    While they were there, the time came for Mary to deliver her child.

    And she gave birth to her firstborn son

    and wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a manger,

    because there was no place in the guest room.



    Refrain

    God is found in the ordinary.



    Quote / Poem

    Madeleine L’Engle, from Walking on Water

    “There is nothing so secular

    that it cannot be sacred.

    And nothing so ordinary

    that it cannot be filled with God.

    If we believe that God took on flesh,

    then every place

    where life unfolds

    is holy ground.”
