New Christmas "Eve-Eve" Candlelight Service


Is it too early to be thinking about Christmas? Well, maybe, since it’s not even Thanksgiving yet! On the other hand, it’s not too early because our church will be adding a fourth service to our Christmas Eve schedule and we want to spread the word early.

This additional service is being called our “Christmas Eve-Eve service” and will be held the day before Christmas Eve on Monday, December 23, 7:30 pm in our Sanctuary. This service will be similar to our 5:30 pm, 8:00 pm, &11:00 pm Christmas Eve services including the candle lighting, the singing of “Silent Night” and a hope-filled Christmas message.

Our Worship Team has agreed to offer this additional service to help us reach even more people in our community with the good news of the Christmas message. By offering this new service, we believe that it will help to free up parking and worship seating space for the other services.

There also might be some other benefits. We have already heard some church members share that by providing this “Eve-Eve” service, they will be able to attend since they often travel out of town on Christmas Eve.

Please spread the word about our Christmas Eve-Eve and our Christmas Eve candlelight worship services. I know it’s a little early to be talking about Christmas, but it will be here before we know it.

For now, let’s enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and thank God for our many blessings.

Gratefully Yours,

Pastor Robert
