Merry Christmas from Swedlanda!
We were finally able to celebrate the holiday at Swedlanda. Due to wintry weather, the Christmas Eve Family Service was postponed until Sunday. Christmas Day worship also had to be cancelled. The widespread storm also changed travel plans and Christmas family gatherings for many.
God provided a beautiful sunrise on a frosty morning. Grandma Jill, the Christmas Angel, made an appearance and read the Christmas story. The Swedlanda Choir offered two songs for the Christmas service, “One Small Child,” and “Carry the Light.” Megan S. and the Lamb family also provided special music and the congregation sang several Christmas hymns. There was also a reading of “The Christmas Light,” a candlelight service. Despite the lateness of the celebration, the service was well attended.
Other activities at Swedlanda included a Christmas party for the Esther circle last Sunday. Three wise men were patiently waiting for the potluck and white elephant gift exchange.
Andy and Melissa’s baby, Grady, was baptized also. It was a special day for several generations of parents and grandparents.
May God bless your family during the Christmas season and in the New Year.
Pastor Stewart
