Despite Our Plans: Christmas Happens Anyway

December 27, 2020 | Rev. Molly Hayes

Passage: Luke 2:22-40

Join us this week as we conclude our "Anyway in a Manger" sermon series! This week's message, "Despite Our Plans: Christmas Happens Anyway", delivered by Rev. Molly Hayes, centers around Luke 2:22-40. Mary and Joseph went to the Temple planning to give God thanks for their son. They would have never expected what happened next…despite all our planning, Christmas often happens in ways we could never imagine.

Joining Pastor Molly in worship is Rev. Dr. Chris J. Hayes and Michelle Clark. Sean Hales sings "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" and "Joy to the World" accompanied by Dr. Jamila Javadova-Spitzberg.

Series Information

It’s been a weird year. Family traditions and church traditions may not look the same as they always have. It may feel like Christmas just can’t or won’t happen this year. Yet, we’re reminded through the story of that first Christmas that it happens anyway.
