Christmas Eve Candlelight Services
4pm, 6pm, 8pm
The 4pm is a Children’s Service designed to get young children involved in the Christmas Story and channel that holiday excitement into worship. It starts with a bare Christmas tree which the children will decorate with ornaments as the story of Jesus unfolds. It promises to be boisterous, high-energy, and hands-on, with lots of singing.
The 6pm and 8pm services will feature special music. THIS SERVICE WILL BE LIVESTREAMED AT 6PM!
We’ll sing Silent Night by candlelight at 6pm, and 8pm—and by glowsticks at 4pm.
