What began as a beautiful religious holiday has evolved over time, with many now embracing the season through gift-giving and festive meals. While more people celebrate Christmas as a cultural event, we recognize its deep roots in the nativity story and the birth of Jesus. This year, we invite everyone to rediscover the joy and meaning behind this special time. We’re excited to share the good news that brings joy to all! Let’s come together to rekindle cherished Christmas traditions and celebrate the true spirit of the season.
Join us as we launch Christmas, dressed in our Christmas sweaters, with a family friendly service. We invite all the kids to sit in the service as we celebrate the joy of hope we have in Jesus with a message for all ages!
Our team will share stories of God's faithfulness and the joy of his promise to be with us in every season.
In the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season we will take time this weekend to intentionally slow down, reflect and worship the Prince of Peace with our Lord's Supper service.
We will come around the Love of God in sending his one and only Son for us.
And just days before Christmas we have a special guest making a fun appearance and a photobooth for the whole family.
