A Christmas Story & Greeting

Posted: December 20, 2021 | Filed Under: Spotlight

“The world was about to change forever. And it almost went by unnoticed…”

In this special recording, Bishop Michael is joined by Pastors Christie, Doug and Adam (as well as the Morrow-Wolfe & Snook kiddos) in a reading of “Song of the Stars: A Christmas Story” by Sally Lloyd-Jones and illustrated by Allison Jay.

Bishop Michael also brings Christmas Greetings as he reflects on, “the hopes and fears of all the years.” Bishop’s Christmas Greeting begins at 4:47.

Multiple versions of this resource (video and print) can be accessed through our Eastern Synod Resource Library. The full video is also available on our YouTube Channel, and linked to our website and social media accounts.
