Candlelight Christmas Eve Service

  • Westhope Presbyterian Church 12850 Saratoga Ave Saratoga, CA 95070 (map)

Blessed Christmas Eve to you and your family!

We welcome you to join us celebrate as we enter the blessed darkness of this New Day.

Together we will open our hearts, lift our voices, light our candles and create a radiance in the larger community that stretches far beyond this sanctuary, into every corner where God’s hope, love, peace, joy, and Presence are needed.

Wherever you are, we pray that you are touched by the Holy and the warmth of this community of faith. We welcome you to join us for this special service of candlelight, prayer and song.

The frightened shepherd’s become God’s messengers. They organize, make haste, find others, and speak with them. Do we not all want to become shepherds and catch sight of the angel? I think so. Without the perspective of the poor, we see nothing, not even an angel. When we approach the poor, our values and goals change. The child appears in many other children. Mary also seeks sanctuary among us. Because the angels sing, the shepherds rise, leave their fears behind, and set out for Bethlehem, wherever it is situated these days.
