Perhaps the greatest line of any Christmas song is, “Long lay the world, in sin and error pinning, ‘til he appeared and the soul felt his worth” from O Holy Night.  Disappointments, division, anxiety, and pain leave us longing for something more.  Join us this Advent and Christmas season as we acknowledge together that on that night in Bethlehem, Heaven literally came to earth and all of our deepest desires are fulfilled in him.
