Contemporary Christmas

This interactive service will be an early celebration of Christmas. It will include reading the Christmas story and small group discussions. Our Saturday evening service band, a local young Episcopal group, will be playing upbeat, jazzy Christmas music. Join us for a festive reception afterwards.

Blue Christmas Service
|
Wednesday, December 21 • 7:00 pm

Find hope, comfort, and healing in this service at a time when people might be feeling sad or lonely. While this is supposed to be a season of joy, some people feel especially blue. The service coincides with the winter solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year. It is a time when we reflect on the darkness that surrounds us and remember that Christmas is about light coming into our dark world.
