First Lutheran Church

Today the children of First Lutheran proclaim the Christmas Story. Their proclamation is sermon and they point wondrously to Jesus. During these final days of Advent we pray, “O come, O come, Emmanuel,” a beloved hymn based on the O Antiphons, ancient prayers appointed for the seven days preceding Christmas. On this final Sunday of Advent we prepare to celebrate the birth of the one born to save us from the power of sin and death.
