First Sunday of Christmas | Lessons & Carols | December 27, 2020 | Trinity Lutheran Church
Trinity Lutheran Church in Monticello, MN is a vibrant community of believers. We gather weekly for worship of the Triune God. We invite, ignite, and excite people to feel the Spirit, experience Jesus Christ, and know the love of God. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! Thank you for worshipping God with Trinity Lutheran today! Blessings to you and your family. This is the season of Christmas when we celebrate the coming of the Christ child, and how the presence of Christ makes meaning for our lives today. Christmas is a season of praise and thanksgiving for the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ, which begins with Christmas Eve (December 24 after sundown) or Day and continues through the Day of Epiphany. The name Christmas comes from the season's first service, the Christ Mass. Epiphany comes from the Greek word epiphania, which means "manifestation." For Christ came for all the world, not only for a few. The colors of white and gold and materials of the finest texture are displayed for paraments, stoles, and banners. Signs of the season include a Christmas tree, a nativity scene (including the magi on the Day of Epiphany or after), a Christmas star, angels, poinsettias, and roses. Gold, frankincense, myrrh, and three crowns are appropriate on the Day of Epiphany (January 6 or the Sunday nearest).
