This year’s theme “Awake! And Greet the New Morn” comes from a hymn by distinguished Luther alum Marty Haugen ’73. It is not only a celebration and anticipation of the birth of Christ, but also a hope to exit the 18-month pandemic slumber and begin to welcome a return to a familiarity of life.

“The active strength in words such as ‘awake’ and ‘greet’ signal an eagerness and intentionality that has been missing for so long. The ‘new morn’ for me signals the opportunity to reenter life with an awareness of embracing those things that bring us joy and challenge us to rethink how and if we allow space for things that don’t,” said Last. “It will be easy to revert back to a holiday season filled with so much that there is little time for reflection and we hope you’ll prioritize taking an evening to celebrate with us the birth of Christ.”
