December 29, 2024 – The First Sunday After Christmas

Theme: “Joy To The World!”

Readings: 1 Samuel 2:18-20, 26; Colossians 3:12-17; Luke 2:41-52

As we gather this Sunday after Christmas, we ask, "How was your Christmas?" We reflect on how the holiday unfolded for each of us—our hosting, our travels, the time spent with family and friends, the food, and the moments of relaxation and joy. But perhaps more than anything, we're reflecting on the gift giving—did we get what we were hoping for, what we were searching for?

This year, as we gather in worship, let us ask ourselves: Are we still searching for a little more Christmas? As we enter a new year, are we still seeking more of what Jesus reveals to us, more of the peace, joy, and transformation He brings?

The twelve days of Christmas remind us that there’s still time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the greatest gift ever given to the world.

In our scripture readings, we hear of young Jesus growing in wisdom and grace, and we are reminded that this journey of discovery and growth in Christ is ongoing. We too, like the family of Jesus, are called to grow in our faith and to celebrate the joy that He brings into the world and into our lives.

As we enter the new year, may you be blessed to find all that Jesus is revealing anew—transforming us, making us new, and filling us with His greatest joy.

Special Moments:

• Communion Blessing on Households: During this service, we will share a special communion blessing over households as we enter a new year, asking God to bless our homes with His presence and peace.

• Music and Joy: Join us as we sing, "Joy to the World!" and rejoice in the joy of the Christmas season that continues to shine in the new year.

In Person: Join us at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Lakeville, MN, for this joyful and celebratory service.
Online: Watch the service online through Lord of Life LIVE.

May the joy of Christ fill your heart and your home as we continue to celebrate the birth of our Savior!

December 24, 2024 – Christmas Eve

Theme for the Night: “Wonders Of His Love!”

Readings: Luke 2:1-20

On this holy night, as we gather together, we ask ourselves: Why are you here tonight? What are you looking for? What are you hoping for this Christmas? And perhaps most importantly, Would you even know it if you found it?

Like the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks, we too are looking for something. They were filled with wonder and awe when they found the child in the manger, the Savior of the world. But the true wonder of that night, and of this season, is God’s deep love for us.

“Wonders Of His Love!”: This night is for children, yes. But not just for the little ones in age. This night is for the child of God in each of us. God delights in watching His children, of all ages, fill with anticipation, joy, and wonder. Even when we feel afraid, uncertain, or overwhelmed by the demands of life, God invites us to come with haste and trust that His love for us is more than we ever imagined.

The birth of Jesus is the ultimate gift, the truest wonder of His love. As we listen to the story of the first Christmas, may our hearts be filled with joy, gratitude, and wonder, knowing that God loves us with a love beyond measure.

Special Moments:

• As we hear the familiar story of Jesus' birth, we are reminded that God’s love, born that night in a humble manger, is the love that fills us all.

• Join us in lighting candles, singing familiar carols, and sharing the joy of Christ's birth with one another.

In Person: Join us at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Lakeville, MN, for our Christmas Eve service, filled with music, candlelight, and reflection on God’s love.
Online: Experience the service from the comfort of your home via Lord of Life LIVE.

As we celebrate this sacred night, may we all feel the wonder of God’s love made present in the birth of Jesus Christ!

Sunday, December 22, 2024 – The Fourth Sunday in Advent – The Star/Angel Candle

Theme for the Day: “He Rules The World!”

Readings: Micah 5:2-5a; Hebrews 10:5-10; Luke 1:39-45 (46-55)

As we approach Christmas Eve, the day is drawing near, and there may be a sense that not everything is finished or in place. The hustle and bustle of Advent may have left us with a gap between our hopes and what we’ve been able to accomplish. But there is a deeper truth in the promise of Advent: God’s grace fills the gap. Just as the angels brought hope and the star pointed the wise men to the Christ child, God’s grace breaks forth in unexpected ways.

Today, as we light the Star/Angel Candle, we reflect on the profound truth that God has sent Jesus, who rules the world with truth, grace, joy, hope, love, and light. In this season, let us trust that God’s grace is more than enough to close the gap between our expectations and reality. We are reminded that, like Mary, we too are sent to bear Christ into the world.

Special Moments:

• We will reflect on the journey of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the wise men, all pointed toward God’s grace breaking into our world.

• We celebrate the truth that God’s love fills all the gaps in our lives, with the assurance that Christ rules the world, bringing light to our darkness.

In Person: Gather with us at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Lakeville, MN, as we prepare for the birth of our Savior.
