Family Christmas Eve Worship
Tuesday, December 24, 5pm

In-Person, or via Facebook and Zoom

Bring the whole family to this heartwarming service featuring our children and youth as they guide us to the manger with Joseph, Mary, and the newborn Savior. This year, we are sharing The Birds of Bethlehem by Tomie dePaola, a fresh and inventive Nativity story told from a bird's-eye view. This enchanting tale captures the awe and anticipation of Christ's birth as the birds of Bethlehem gather to share the news and embark on a journey to witness the miraculous event.  Kids can join in the celebration by lighting their own glow stick candles to sing "Silent Night" with the congregation.

Music will be offered by the Joy! Singers and Celebration! Choir.
