Jason Miller, Mariah Keener, and Zach Gillis - This year, we gather for our first Christmas Eve at the Tribune. But wherever you are, you’re invited to join us in this special gathering as we welcome the arrival of God in Christ. Grab a candle to light and enjoy this special liturgy of songs, Scripture, and teaching, as we celebrate Christmas. 

What's Happening

Jason Miller - The stories of the birth of Jesus in the Gospels are given to us for more than sentimental Christmas tales. They're the narrative expression of the deep wisdom of our faith. The arrival of God in the life of Jesus can teach us how to look for and welcome of the arrival of God in our world right now. This year, we're bringing that wisdom forward into our own lives by not just hearing the stories, but by embodying the practices inherent in the stories. This week, we’re reminded of the power of showing up, and the deep work of becoming fully present.
