On this special episode of the Shepherdcast, we celebrate Christ’s birth on “Christmas Eve-Eve.”  We will be taking a look at Micah 5: 2-5a, Isaiah 7: 13-14, Isaiah 9: 2-6, and the Gospel of Luke 2: 5-14, our choir will be performing special renditions of “Away in a Manger” and, and the Reverend Scott J.

At the beginning of our Christmas Eve-Eve Candlelight Service, Pastor Scott asked for prayers for the city of Baytown, Texas following reports by national media outlets of a large explosion at the town’s ExxonMobil refinery.  That prayer is the opening of today’s episode.
