Matins on Christmas Day

At 11:00 this morning we had Matins (Morning Prayer). It was a pleasant experience to have worship on Christmas Day.

Back when the kids were little, we used to go to the local LCMS Lutheran church in order to get a Christmas Day service (they were the only church to have one). I always liked doing that because too frequently Christmas Eve is about God, and Christmas Day itself is mostly about things, food, and possibly family. Attending worship on Christmas Day helped us keep the reason for the day front and center.

(Sorry the photo is blurry... I had a nanosecond from when they lit the candles until the first person entered the Chapel. My iPhone wasn't fast enough.)
