Special Advent Worship Opportunities

December 6, 2019 by Rick Seaholm

During Advent, each Sunday will have a special focus: Anticipating in Advent, Angels, Shepherds, Magi and Star. Along the way, photos of all the preparations will be pulled together to be shared on Christmas Eve at the 5:00 p.m. service when we create a spontaneous pageant in which all can participate in telling the Christmas story once more. We hope you’ll join us for all the many ways we bring the Christmas story alive in the weeks ahead.

Sunday, December 15 at 10:00am

10:00am Worship in Sanctuary

Worship will focus on the Shepherds, with choral and organ music supporting the theme.

5:00pm Worship in Susan P. Dickerman Hall

The Seeds of Grace worship team will lead us in time of warm community and creative worship with the Advent theme, “What are we waiting for?” Come gather for a cup of soup and a time of sharing stories and song, conversation and prayer. We hope to see you there!

Christmas Sunday, December 22

10:00am Bluegrass Worship

Worship will focus on the theme of Magi and the “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem”. Our own bluegrass band, On the Fence, will offer gathering music and a postlude-sing-along, and will lead anthems with the choir. And we’ll sing some favorite Christmas carols.

Christmas Eve, December 24

5:00pm Pageant

Christmas Pageant Manger

Together we will create a spontaneous pageant, “No Room in the Stable”. Which animal would you like to be ~ a sheep, a cow, or maybe a mouse??

9:00pm Candlelight Service

Our candlelight service of lessons and carols and poetry is a gentle, inspiring, moving service, which ends with Silent Night, sung by candlelight.
