"Love All"

Here's an instant replay of what happened in worship:

We thought about the warm glow people get this time of year. The holiday season casts a magical spell that makes people more likely to give to charities and volunteer.
We examined our reasons for giving this time of year. Is it just because we get caught up in the "Christmas magic", or is there more to it?
We read the Christmas story from Luke 2:1-7 and saw how Jesus was born into poverty. If we were to give a birthday gift to a child born into similar circumstances, we could find many of them.
We heard about a new Bible called the Poverty and Justice Bible. All the verses that talk about God's concern for the poor are highlighted in orange letters so we can see how central that concern is to God. It should be a central concern for us, too.
We prayed that God would give us a heart to love all and care for the poor like Jesus did.
We celebrated communion at the table of love.
