On Christmas Eve The Way began a tradition of celebrating Jesus (the bread of life) being born in Bethlehem (Bet Lehem - the house of bread) by giving each family a homemade loaf of bread. We invited everyone to do whatever they felt was most appropriate for their family to do with this loaf to honor the birth of Jesus. Some families used their bread to have holy communion together as a family on Christmas morning. Another family gave theirs away to a neighbor to spread the message of love. As for me and my family, we used the loaf of bread as a centerpiece for our Christmas dinner. For us, it was the perfect reminder of just why it was that we were together and enjoying such a wonderful meal.
What a great Christmas and Advent this has been at The Way! I'm so blessed to be a part of a church who is striving first and only to live the way of Jesus.
Grace and Peace be with you.
