Dear Friends,

It is a joy to welcome all to Christmas Eve at The Garden. This afternoon, we embark on a beautiful journey, sharing the Christmas story and the profound mystery of the Incarnation. Each lesson will illuminate the story of hope, love, and joy that unfolds through the ages, leading us to the wondrous event of Christ’s birth. As we listen to the readings and raise our voices in carols, we invite you to open your hearts to the message of peace that this season brings.

Whether you are a Gardener or new to The Garden community, know that you are warmly welcomed. Our prayer is that you leave here tonight sharing love, light, peace, and goodwill to all.

As we hear the familiar story again, may it serve as a reminder of the light that continues to shine in our lives today. Let us carry that light into the world, sharing the love of Christ with our families, friends, and neighbors.

We pray that you find this time to be a moment of reflection, joy, and connection. May it inspire you to embrace the true meaning of Christmas and carry that spirit into the New Year.

Wishing you all a blessed Christmas filled with love and joy!



Peace,

Carolyn
