Christmas Service Details
November 30
1st Sunday of the Advent Season as we await the birth of the messiah. Each week we will experience in worship through music, art and the word, the theme #ImmanuelEmbodied as we explore the many ways that God is with us.
December 7
During the holidays we commonly gather around tables with family and friends. In worship this Sunday we will gather around the common table as family and friends as we share the sacrament of communion together and we declare the Light that is breaking into the world.
December 14
Hear the nativity story in a new way as we share heartwarming poetry and prose in an all-church Christmas pageant that will cause all of creation to sing “for unto us a child is born.”
December 21 – 10am
God’s love for us will be on full display as we celebrate the season through word and song. Our many musicians will fill our worship with music that will cause our souls to know that truly God is with us.
December 21 – 5pm: Candlelight, Communion & Comfort
Christmas is a time of joy and festivities, but we also recognize that it may come at a time of sorrow and loss with a mix of emotions that can blunt the hope of the season. We gather for worship on this, the longest night of the year, so that the light of Christ might shine warmly in our hearts. Tonight, we will light candles together and keep vigil, inviting God to join us as we look forward to the birth of the Messiah, God with us.
December 24 – 3pm
An all family service filled with the promise of Christmas with carols, the nativity story and special music.
