A baby is a harmless thing
And wins our hearts with one accord,
And Flower of Babies was their King,
Jesus Christ our Lord:
Lily of lilies He
Upon His Mother’s knee;
Rose of roses, soon to be
Crowned with thorns on leafless tree.
A lamb is innocent and mild
And merry on the soft green sod;
And Jesus Christ, the Undefiled,
Is the Lamb of God:
Only spotless He
Upon His Mother’s knee;
White and ruddy, soon to be
Sacrificed for you and me.
Nay, lamb is not so sweet a word,
Nor lily half so pure a name;
Another name our hearts hath stirred,
Kindling them to flame:
“Jesus” certainly
Is music and melody:
Heart with heart in harmony
Carol we and worship we.
– “Christmas Day,” Christina Rossetti
Merry Christmas!
Generous Together
God has given us a vision to raise up a Christian community that collectively lives out the sacred call by Jesus to love our neighbors and heal our city. Please consider investing in that mission with a generous year-end gift. Our generosity extends the gospel mission beyond our church and into the world through disciples who spend time with, learn from, and model their lives around Jesus.
