The Choral Eucharist Christmas Day Sunday, December 25, 2016 11 a.m. welcome to grace
It’s Christmas.
from the bishop One thing about the Episcopal Church that thousands upon thousands of non-Episcopalians have directly experienced is Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. We go all-out for Midnight Mass —sublime music, candles, processions, and the giddy experience of being in church for a long stretch and then walking out into the wee hours of Christmas Day.
We Episcopalians pour so much into this service because we really love the God-made-human part of the whole sweep of Christian believing. That this peasant child contained the fullness of Divine Being is thrilling, and affects how we see everything that unrolls from that tiny life’s beginning.
Because of our love for the Incarnation of God, we love all that God made, all the world. This is why you’ll find Episcopalians hard at work and in the thick of every application to human need and every aspect of care of the Earth there is. We are glad you are joining us for Christmas, and for all that Christmas opens to us in this beautiful creation.
— The Right Reverend Marc Handley Andrus, Bishop of California
