Christmas Eve

We had a nice relaxing morning on Christmas Eve at home because Grace UMC Venice decided to only do night services: 5pm Contemporary and 7pm Traditional service. Wesley was with Daryl for both (to help with tech), while Parker and Davis went with me to the 5pm service. The attendance at both services was nothing short of amazing - they had to add more chairs at the 5pm and it was packed! With both services, they ended up being at over 500 for the night! The children's nativity at the 5pm was adorable. 

















On the way home, I made one last labyrinth stop at the UCC in Venice. 



Sarah shared a few pictures with us of the 7pm Traditional Service.

Christmas Eve

We went as a family to the 5pm service at Grace UMC Venice, which included a "spontaneous" Christmas pageant with the smaller kids and the band with contemporary music. And of course, Daryl preaching!  









Afterwards we got a few family Christmas pictures before we headed home - and Daryl stayed for the 7pm service. The kids and I grabbed food from the deli at Publix on the way home. 



When we arrived back home, we found some amazing goodies on the porch from our neighbors 
Kevin and Sue!
