Are you lit up for the holiday?

Today Dale spoke on the family tradition we have in the Claiborne house to read the story of Jesus’ birth right after we eat our Christmas Eve Taco’s and right before all the grandkids dive under the tree for their presents.

It begins by Dale’s dad, Ken, getting out the Bible and turning to Luke 2. Typically a couple grandkids gather around him or on his lap as he reads aloud while the rest of us take a seat to listen. It is quiet and beautiful. It is the story of how Christmas came to be.




Dale also spoke about the Christmas tree and how incidentally that Jesus’ birth, life, and death all included wood from a tree.

Luke 2:7
…She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger…

The manger, a trough, made of wood.
His earthly Father, Joseph, was a carpenter and taught Jesus the trade.
Jesus died on a rugged cross.

A Christmas tree is a holiday tradition for most whether they believe in Christ or not but Jesus is represented by that tree. Christ illuminates in the darkest of places to show the way to His Father.




Join us in showing people the way to “Connect to God and to Others” this Christmas!
