Traditional Worship | Rev. Dr. Ashley Goad | 

The shepherds were the first to hear the good news, the first to see the Christ Child, and the first to share the message. Their story reminds us that God’s love often arrives quietly, in fields — in ordinary places, among ordinary people — and then calls us to tell others. As we gather for worship today, may our hearts echo the shepherds’ telegram of joy: Christ is born! God is with us! May we, too, go forth glorifying and praising God for all we have seen and heard this Christmas.
