The First Sunday after Christmas Day

December 28, 2025

8:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist, Rite I · 10:15 a.m. Holy Eucharist with Holy Baptism, Rite II (Livestreamed)

Christmas doesn’t end when the carols fade. On this Sunday after Christmas, John’s Gospel takes us back to the beginning: Christ is the Word through whom all things were made, the light that shines in the darkness. And in Galatians we hear the promise that, in the fullness of time, God has adopted us as children—beloved, claimed, and never alone. As we move from the feast into the ordinary days ahead, may we receive Christ again with gratitude, and carry his light into our homes, our work, and our care for one another.

Life together at Saint John’s in the days of Christmas.
