Making Room for Hope This Christmas Eve
by Pastor Krista Price
Week of December 23
With Christmas just days away, there’s a familiar rhythm many of us feel—the busy schedules, the traditions we repeat year after year, the stories we’ve heard since childhood. We know the Christmas story well. We can recite it, sing it, and picture it. But this season invites us to pause and ask a deeper question: Do we still believe that God works miracles?
Christmas isn’t meant to be something we simply get through or check off a list. It’s an invitation. An invitation to slow down. To gather not just out of routine, but with expectation. To open our hearts to the possibility that this year—this very Christmas—God might do something new within us.
It’s easy to show up out of habit, to think, Here we go again. But what if instead, we came with openness? What if we allowed this moment to be more than tradition—more than another service, another song, another year? Christmas marks the beginning of hope entering the world in a profound way, a hope that continues to meet us wherever we are today.
As we gather on Christmas Eve, we’re not just remembering the birth of Christ—we’re reflecting on a love that would carry all the way through the cross and beyond. A love that still calls us, still invites us, and still offers renewal and peace.
If you’re searching for hope, meaning, or a quiet place to rest your heart, consider joining us this Christmas Eve. Come ready not just to listen, but to receive. Make space for Christ once again. You might be surprised by what unfolds.
We would love to welcome you Christmas Eve at 9:00 PM. May this season be one where hope feels real, love feels present, and your heart finds room to breathe.
