First Sunday of Christmas/Lessons and Carols. As we celebrate the Twelve Days of Christmas, our service today tells the story of Jesus birth, the incarnation, God with us, through song and story. With so much joyful singing, we are grateful to have trumpeter Derek Burkin join us this morning as well. We celebrate the strong tradition of storytelling through song, especially as Lutherans, as we dedicate our new hymnal supplements this morning.
