SUMMARY:A Playful Christmas
DESCRIPTION:CHARLOTTE\, NC\n\nJoin us for a playful\, family-friendly Chris
 tmas Eve service filled with laughter\, celebration\, and the bold spirit 
 of hope. Together\, we’ll explore the story of the first Christmas in Pa
 lestine and discover how joy becomes an act of radical resistance in the f
 ace of empire and oppression.\n\nThrough music\, storytelling\, and creati
 ve activities\, we’ll celebrate the conditions that nurture life\, hope\
 , and resilience—just as the Jesse tree grows and thrives in the soil of
  the sacred story in Palestine. As we look to the challenges and possibili
 ties of the months ahead\, we’ll draw inspiration from the people of tod
 ay’s Palestine\, who show us what it means to live fully\, resist boldly
 \, and find light in even the darkest times.\n\nCome ready to sing\, laugh
 \, reflect\, and experience the power of joy that breaks chains\, heals wo
 unds\, and makes way for the living. This welcoming service is perfect for
  people of all ages\, from little ones to elders\, as we celebrate the lib
 erating gift of life and hope this Christmas Eve.\n\nTogether\, let us res
 ist the empire with joy and embrace the radical call to live abundantly.\n
 \nCome in your pajamas or other festive wear.\n\nBring drums\, bells\, or 
 percussion instruments if you like.\n\nWe’ll have cider and snacks start
 ing as early at 2:45pm.
