December 24, 2022 – Christmas Services

Join us for our Christmas Eve Family Service at 6 p.m. as members of our youth choir offer upbeat Christmas anthems. The choirs will help lead the traditional Christmas story told through drama and song! Arrive early to hear a prelude of favorite seasonal songs offered by special guests Ben Green and Richard Sweet with Alastair Stout on piano.

Later that evening, at 10:30 p.m., the Sanctuary Choir will offer a Musical Prelude, joined by guest instrumentalists for this beautiful and uplifting music. The Candlelight Evening Service begins at 11 p.m. We will all share in the beauty and comfort of lighting candles and singing “Silent Night” as the wonder and mystery of Christmas unfolds.
