Christmas 2025
Christmas is a joyous season around the world. Join us as we move through the Advent Season with festive activities and Worship services for the entire family.
We have two services on Christmas Eve to help everyone connect to the Christmas story and celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
4PM Family Service
This special service is geared towards families and children of all ages – children and youth are part of the worship team and participate throughout the service. As one of our most well attended services during the year, you’ll want to arrive early to get a seat. We sing familiar Christmas Carols, and read the Christmas story in a way children can relate to.
8PM Candlelight Service
This service is designed in a quiet, meditative style for older youth and adults. Each person who attends is given a candle to light and hold near the end of the service when we sing Silent Night. The dimly lit sanctuary allows for a sense of contemplation and mystery as we share lessons and carols and a brief meditation by the Senior Minister. The choir offers special music for this holiest of nights and many of our worshippers say this is one of the most meaningful services of the year.

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
December 14
5:15 & 7:15PM
Bring your family and friends to experience the beauty and wonder of Christmas! The evening begins in the Sanctuary and is followed by an explanation of what participants will see as they are guided on a walk of the grounds to view scenes of actors, animals and musicians and the visual telling of the Christmas story.
The Christmas Pageant is FREE and open to everyone! It has been our gift to the community for over 60 years and each year we look forward to sharing the magic of the Christmas season with our neighbors far and wide.
