Guest speaker Rev. David Jennys explores these bible readings: Luke 2:8-15 & I Thessalonians 5:16-24. Do you know what popular Christmas carol the Rev. Edmond Hamilton Sears wrote?  HINT: He wrote it on the eve of the outbreak of the Civil War.  Rev. Sears was inspired by the angels’ call for peace on earth, as the story is told in Luke 2:13 & 14.  How can we take up this call to peace?  Come to Sunday service on December 17 to hear how we can be blessed to be people of peace – through and through (I Thessalonians 5:23).
