At time of service beginning, lights dim and the UPS guy enters from the front door delivering a package again indicating that people need to get to their seats. The narrator then invites the children to come as we all sing together a medley of Christmas songs. Then Precious Promise, and Message. During the message the gift is opened it is filled with several very bright spot lights that come on and shine out of the box illuminating the now dimmed stage. Message is concluded with Next Step opportunities.
Every light has a purpose.
Some are for reading. Some make cars stop others make them go. Some lights brighten the way when we travel. Other light keep us from stumping our toes. Perhaps as we study the reason Jesus came into the world we'll also get some clues to our purpose as well.
