Christmas 2024

"Let us not give up meeting together... let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching"

Hebrews 10:25

Christmas is such a special time for Christians for many reasons, including that it is a time when we gather and encourage one another in faith.  We know the great, paramount, eternal implications of that Nativity scene.  We understand why a great company of angels came to proclaim our Savior's birth.  We know why this celebration is so great!  As you consider your holiday schedule, plan on joining us here so that we can be encouraged by one another as we gather by the manger. 

The Fourth Sunday of Advent

Christmas Eve

Tuesday, December 24th at 1pm

Join us for an afternoon in the Word.  Let us share in the joy of the shepherds as they first heard the divine message.  This service has some strong Christmas hymns and treasured readings.  The choir has prepared a special piece for this service.

Tuesday, December 24th at 8pm

Come to our special candlelight service!  We’ll celebrate Christmas through readings and carols. We’ve planned some beloved hymns for this service that reflect the true joy and message of Christ’s coming. Carols by candlelight is such a special thing, and this year we will have enough candles for everyone!  We will even have some battery operated candles for kids.

Christmas Day

Wednesday, December 25th at 9am

Celebrate God’s gift to His fallen creation!  Christ took on flesh to be the sacrifice that makes us right with God!  Moses once asked the Great I Am to show him His glory.  God could not let sinful eyes see His face because God is holy… that same God was veiled in flesh in that manger.  True God yet true man!  This service will feature many beloved Christmas hymns we haven’t sung this season.

The First Sunday After Christmas

Our normal worship service will consider Christ as the young boy going to His Father’s house.  I just wanted to make sure it was on our little calendar here.

New Year's Eve

Tuesday, December 31st at 7pm

Prepare for the new year with the Word.  New Years is always a good time to reflect on the last year and really where we are in our life (from our perspective).  This year on New Year’s Eve we will consider Hebrews 11, a chapter some call the “Hall of Fame” of faith.  No matter where you are in your life, there is a character, a real person redeemed by God, in this chapter who you can relate to and be encouraged by!  And as your life changes, other heroes of faith will resonate with you.  Join us as we consider these heroes of faith and God's grand plans.  During the service we will also celebrate Holy Communion.  As the hymn says, “Rejoice! Rejoice! With thanks embrace, another year of grace!”
