DECEMBER 24 CHRISTMAS EVE CHILDREN’S SERVICE at 5:00pm . This service, geared particularly for families with children, will include the singing of carols and a telling of the Christmas story with the participation of the children who are present.  Costumes are back!  Holy Communion will not be part of this service, but the singing of Silent Night and the lighting of candles will! The service is about 45 minutes in length.

DECEMBER 24 CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLELIGHT SERVICE at 9:00pm. Returning for the first time post-pandemic, our traditional Christmas Eve Candlelight Service of Lessons and Carols with Holy Communion will begin at 9:00pm.  Please come, enjoy harp music prior and throughout the service, Peace Ringers, and tenor soloist Jon Lackey, and bring visiting friends or relatives along with you!

DECEMBER 31 SERVICE OF LESSONS AND CAROLS at 10:30am. On the final day of the year, we gather to give thanks for God’s presence among us in the Incarnate Christ, retelling the story of his birth and childhood, as we ring out the old and bring in the new.  This is a simple service of lessons and carols with Holy Communion and lots of singing. Come ring out the old and bring in the New Year!
