Christmas just isn’t complete without Advent activities, music, and church services. With that in mind, we have a variety of options for you for this Advent and Christmas season.

Advent Activities
Join us in Brummet Hall for Advent activities, coffee, and goodies beginning Sunday, December 1 and going through Sunday, December 22. Invite your family and friends to join us during this Advent season to enjoy a time of fellowship. Also on December 1, meet our new staff: Luis Ortiz Erazo, Youth Ministries, Joey Eno, Facilities, and Heather Stein, Family Ministries.

Traditional Christmas Eve Service, 11:00 am
Join us for a daytime traditional Christmas Eve service featuring the Early Bird Choir and Harmony Men’s Quartet. This worship experience is designed for all ages. Children, youth, adults, and elders are all invited to join us to hear and experience the wonder of Christmas Eve, but during the daylight hours!

Contemporary Christmas Eve Service, 5:00 pm
Join us and for a contemporary service featuring our worship band Grace Multiplied. This evening worship will also be intergenerational, as people of ages are invited to join us to experience the wonder of Christmas Eve, including the singing of Silent Night by candlelight.

Not so Traditional Lessons and Carols, 9:00 pm
Featuring our Sanctuary Singers, this service will begin in the dark, remembering the night of Jesus’ birth. It will transition from quiet, meditative carols to a more bombastic, joyful celebration of the coming of the Light of the World.

Year End Combined Worship Service, Sunday December 29, 9:30 am
The Sunday after Christmas, we will have a single, combined casual service at 9:30 am with the theme “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” Join us for a laid back morning of story and song as we continue the celebration of Christ’s birth, and consider what we are each called to grow into.

Ephinay Sunday, January 5, 8, 9:30 and 11 am
We return to our normal schedule of three service on Epiphany Sunday, January 5, as we reflect on the coming of the Light of the World and the baptism of Jesus Christ. Worship will include a joyful experience of baptism renewal.
