Come All Ye Lonely | Menlo Midweek | Mark Swarner, Jennifer Blatnik, Mark Morinishi

This Christmas Eve we see how the arrive of Christmas pulls it all together.

The holidays are supposed to be joyful, but for many they feel heavy—filled with unmet expectations, quiet pain, or spiritual drift. The good news? Jesus didn’t come for the ones who had it all together. This Advent, we’re flipping the script on a familiar carol. Come All Ye Faithless is a reminder that the invitation to meet Jesus isn’t just for the strong, but for the struggling. If you’re hopeless, joyless, anxious, or lonely… you’re exactly who Christmas is for. Thank you Dr. Jo Vitale from Kardia Questions for helping start our series!
