Last night we enjoyed a service of lessons and carols. Joyce and Jessica Terry, Vicki Winstead, Don and Laura Steele did a superb job of choosing and presenting songs coordinated with the bible readings reflecting progression from "promise to fulfillment, prophecy to realization, type and shadow to reality" ....bridging the advent and Christmas seasons. What a blessing! 
Here is a quote from St. Augustine on the Lord's "coming."
"The first coming of Christ the Lord, God's Son and our God, was in obscurity, no one recognized him but his own servants; when he comes openly he will be known by both good people and bad. When he came in obscurity, it was to be judged; when he comes openly it will be to judge."

Wonderful picture!! It was a great service, wasn't it?
I'll second Cindy's comments on the "lessons and carols" worship service.
