✨ A Christmas Candlelight Service to Remember 🕯️🎄
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Community Christmas Candlelight Worship Service at St. Mary’s Redbank Church. Thanks to Rev. Dr. Gordon V. Barrows for the message, “The B’s of Christmas: Making Room for Jesus,” and to Thomas & Adele Smith for the beautiful worship music. 🎶
📖 Three takeaways from Pastor Gordon’s message:
• Release what crowds your heart so Jesus has room.
• Make room for Jesus in everyday, ordinary moments.
• Keep Jesus at the center, not the edge, of your life.
