The Sixty-sixth Christmas Candlelight Vespers
We look forward to celebrating the incarnation of Jesus Christ with the Western New York community. For each of the Vesper’s past 65 years, there has been a hymn, anthem, or scripture that has inspired the theme and music selections for the service.
Our 66th service, “Light for the Nations”, is inspired by the following hymn:
Savior of the nations, come; virgin’s Son, make here your home. Marvel now, O heav’n and earth, that the Lord chose such a birth.
The light of Christ will shine through the church, sharing the light of Christ with those who do not yet know him. Through missions in other lands and through our own personal witness to friends, relatives, associates, and neighbors, we shine the light of Christ in places and pockets of darkness. This is what people need, and this is what we have to share. There is enough light to go around–for us, for people we know, and for all the nations of the world.

Looking forward to your Advent service, as we have for most of the 66 years.
