The First Christmas Was Not Televised - The Rev. Barbara Ballenger


Listen Later

On Christmas Eve the Rev. Barbara Ballenger points out the juxtaposition of our time - the first Christmas was not televised, but this Christmas is. While that first Christmas was quiet, simple, and without too many 'viewers' the story was so great that even our children tell it by heart thousands of years later.
Today's readings are:
Isaiah 62:6-12
Psalm 96
Luke 2:1-7, 8-20
Readings may be found on LectionaryPage.net for Christmas.
