Yesterday, at 4:20 a.m. in Baltimore, marked the winter solstice. Today, we will celebrate this moment of magic. What presence are you grateful for during the longest nights? What brings you hope when there are less hours of sunlight? You are invited to bring holly sprigs and sweet treats to share this morning.

Tonight we celebrate Christmas Eve with a visit from three aliens who are curious about the stories we humans tell on this night, from the birth of Jesus who taught about kindness and community to Santa Claus on his sleigh delivering presents to children around the world. These aliens will help us to appreciate the ancient story and our own lives in a new way.

Tidings Of Great Joy!

In the traditional nativity story, Luke tells us that Mary laid Jesus in a manger; that the shepherds were instructed to find a baby lying in a manger; and that they did so. Matthew tells us that three wise people came to visit Mary and Joseph and the baby. In Love Actually, the Christmas Pageant features not only Mary, Joseph, the babe lying in the manger, shepherds, and sometimes angels, but also a whale, a lobster, an octopus, and even Spiderman. On Christmas Eve, what is present in the manger and in all who come to it?
