On Christmas Eve, we had a worship service at both the Oakfield and Tabor churches. At the Oakfield church, we decided to try something different. We had a worship service called, "Celebrate the Shepherd." It was a worship service that looked at shepherds in the Bible and specifically the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. There were various bible readings, a poetry reading, two special songs, hymns and a sermon all around the topic of shepherds. We even had a candle light singing of Silent Night. There would definitely be changes that I would make for next year, but it was neat to try something different.
At the Tabor church, we fused together the Children's Pageant with a Service of Lessons and Carols. It went a little longer than I would have expected, but it was great! It was a full house and a big crowd got to see a wonderful performance by the members of the Tabor UMC Sunday School program.
Thankfully, the weather cooperated for the most part. The drive between Oakfield and Eden could have been much worse. Already tomorrow, we will have our Sunday worship service. We will be having John Wesley's Covenant Renewal done at both churches. I think it will be a neat experience for all who attend.
