First Baptist Jackson:
What if December didn’t have to feel like this?
– By Bobby D’Alessandro
As I write this it’s barely October, and December is already coming into view. The parties. The programs. The ever-growing list. If you’re like me, by the 25th we’ve had Christmas without ever really feeling it.
Then it’s the 26th, and you’re not sure where it went.
I don’t think that’s what we want. We want something slower. The sounds of an orchestra. Carols we can sing without looking at the words. A moment where nobody needs anything from us — an hour to re-center on the arrival of Jesus.
If that sounds right, I’d like to invite you to something.
For 56 years, First Baptist Jackson has set aside one weekend in December for Carols by Candlelight. Our worship ministry tells the Christmas story in a sanctuary built for reflection and hope.
December asks a lot of us. Carols by Candlelight asks only that you come. Find a seat, let the music wash over you, and for one evening, slow down and rest in the good news that started it all.
“My hope for Carols by Candlelight is that each person in attendance leaves having experienced the wonder of the Christmas season and having heard the story of Jesus.” – Drew Warford, Pastor of Worship.
There are four performances: Friday, December 11, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, December 12, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, December 13, at 3 p.m. Admission is free, but tickets are required — and every performance filled last year.
Bring whomever you’d like: family, neighbors, the friend who has had a hard year.
I hope you leave talking a little more slowly than when you came in, with the rest of December reoriented around Jesus’ arrival instead of the list on your refrigerator.
December is coming either way. This year, take one night of it back.
Reserve your free tickets at carolsjackson.com.
About: Bobby D’Alessandro is communications director at First Baptist Jackson. Carols by Candlelight is December 11-13 at First Baptist Jackson, 431 N. State St., in downtown Jackson. Tickets are free and available now.
