What is it that we have to celebrate (1) We have to un- derstand the Joy of Christ- mas, the Joy that brought us a Sayiour (2) God can take our efforts and our deeds and build something beautiful from them. (3) We celebrate the fact that God was active in saving Jesus from Herod's clutches, and that no obstacle can keep us from the love of Jesus, that is what we should celebrate at Christmas, said Rev. Morden. Diane Cook performed the ceremony of lighting the third candle in the Advent Wreath denoting "Joy!'.
