CHRIST CHURCH, AN HISTORIC 1870'S GOTHIC REVIVAL STRUCTURE

Monday,  8:00 AM.  6 degrees F at the ferry dock, 3 on the back porch.  Wind SSW, moderate with strong gusts.  The sky is partly cloudy, the humidity 80%.  It will become significantly warmer later today with a wintry mix of weather during the week, with heavy snowfall possible by next weekend.

   Yesterday evening there were Lessons and Carols at our little Bayfield Christ Church, Episcopal.  It was the first time in several years we celebrated Lessons and Carols, as we had been partially closed for years, and then only open as a summer chapel, but we now are open year 'round again, with a new pastor and mission, and we are thankful that we are a full service church once again.

   Christ Church is a very rare Carpenter Gothic structure, dating to the 1870's, well preserved and on the National Register of Historic Structures.  It is beautiful and inspiring, as were the Lessons and Carols, which were led by our noted organist, Arthur Maud.
   It was good to hear the ageless account of the Christmas miracle once again, and its promise of peace on earth.  It will happen if all the world believes that  it can.
   Believe!
