Black Mountain PC(USA) did two services for Christmas Eve (much as they have in the past). The early service is for families and in the past was pretty standard fair with lots of adult involvement. I suggested this year letting children do the bulk of the service. An adult (clergy-person) would only need to do the welcome and concluding blessing. I was able to utilize all of the children participating and present in the Aerie Singers (grades 3-4-5 in our Logos program) as readers and pray-ers. Eli was one of those, though he usually does not sing with the group. He allowed himself to be convinced by myself and our educator Ginny Soll to be a lector. He did a great job. This is a posed shot after the service of Eli at the lectern. He did actually sing the anthem the group sang, though he had not practiced it before! He even got to ring a chime as part of the accompaniment.
