EVERY ONE, thank you all for that you do!!!

I really, really enjoyed the piece by Susan, in particular the comments by Doris. Thank you Susan and Doris, for such an interesting piece.

Pastor Berry, I had to replay the sermon, some parts of it, more than once, to understand the message. I hope and pray that I now have the message. I will play the sermon again.

The replay function, during presentation, is a good thing about a virtual service. BUT, it does not replace an in person service.

I am reminded by the sermon of the chaplain at my graduate school in 1966, back in the days of "religious preference cards" one completed at registration, who noted that the only way for an Episcopalian (or Lutheran?) to complete said card was to check "yes" to Jewish, Protestant and Catholic.

If Christmas is the first day of Christmas, then on this third day of Christmas I am filled with gratitude for all composing each part of this service. I have at times watched David play the organ. I appreciate the videos of his hands and feet and his total attention absorbed in producing the beautiful music. And Pastor thank you, I had not realized so many of the details that you mentioned. And Christian again thanks for the photos that are so well placed. For example I will remember the doves symbolizing Joseph and Mary's poverty. So all involved...again thank you!

I totally enjoyed the service! I really thought I knew all about Doris but she still has a number of surprises for us. Thank you to all involved in the planning and recording of these services.
