Christmas Service

Instead of our regularly scheduled Bible Study on Thursday we had a special Christmas service. We had a lot of fun. We read a few scriptures from Luke 2 and then Matthew 2 and then sang a related Christmas hymn. Then we read a few more verses and sang again, repeating this process through the two accounts of the birth and early life of Jesus Christ on the earth.

Since becoming a Christian, those Christmas hymns are so special, and instead of growing more wearisome each year they are growing in fondness for me. Singing "Joy to the World" and "O Come Ye Faithful" is very enjoyable and edifying. It is shame we have to wait eleven months to sing them again. Hey! Maybe we can have a Christmas service in July!
