December Worship

December 19, 2022 by Rick Seaholm

Our theme for the Advent season is “Journey to Bethlehem.” We will enter into the journey of the ancient ones—prophets, Mary and Joseph, shepherds and magi—and we will reflect on our own journeys that lead us to the birth of hope and love in our lives. Most worship services will be hybrid, so join us in the sanctuary or online (Email the church office for the online password).

Saturday, December 24—Christmas Eve
5:00pm, The Journey to Bethlehem Christmas Pageant (in person and streaming)
9:00pm, Candlelight Service of Lessons and Carols (in person)

Sunday, December 25—Christmas!
We will send out a pre-recorded service for you to access at your convenience. Watch for a creative reading of the Christmas story, pageant bloopers, favorite carols and more. Take a break from morning festivities to remember the story behind the day. (There will be no in-person worship.)

Sunday, January 1 at 10:00am—“Star Gifts,”
Join us for a casual family communion worship service in the sanctuary followed by coffee hour to ring in the new year! Rev. Dr. Karen Nell Smith preaching.

Seeds of Grace Worship: The Longest Night
The Winter Solstice just before Christmas is the longest night of the year. From there, each day offers more light. Join us for a Longest Night Service of scripture, music, quiet reflection, and candle lighting to drive away darkness and to help heal the wounds of grief and loss. On Sunday, we worship in person, outdoors in front of Jonathan House around the fire pit, weather permitting. Gather at 5:00 to share a cup of warm soup and conversation; then at 5:30 we begin worship. Join us to give each other hope, patience and courage for these times. On Monday we meet at 7:30pm on Zoom. Feel free to invite others to join!
