Gathering 213: “A Christmas Letter” // Christmas Eve Service of Worship // Rev. Tony Minear, Ph.D.

So, you say you believe in Santa, but what about ghosts? What lessons can we learn from beyond? Many believe ghosts to be messengers of the myriad potential consequences of our actions while we’re alive. For instance, take Jacob Marley, Esquire, and business partner of Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” In this tale of hope and reconciliation, could the fearsome visage  of Marley possibly deserve a second look? Join us for a unique Christmas message from Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. as he dictates a letter to the ghost of Jacob Marley. Listen and discover the mystery and blessing of entertaining the angels unaware, even those who we can’t see, for their message of warning may be of more importance than first regarded.
