Advent & Christmas

Advent is a season of waiting and watching for our coming savior that culminates with Christmas. While this time of year brings great excitement, it can cause anxiety when we lose focus and fill our time with busyness. Invite your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues to worship each Sunday morning and join us for the special activities at the church listed below.

Matriarchs of Christ

Advent Sermon Series begins Sunday, November 30

This Advent, we’re exploring the surprising women found in Jesus’ family tree—Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba (Uriah’s wife). Each of their stories reveals God’s faithfulness, redemption, and grace working through unexpected lives and circumstances. Join us as we discover how these Four Women Who Point to Jesus illuminate the hope and promise of Christmas.

Service of Comfort and Joy

Wednesday, December 17 at 7 pm, Sanctuary

The holidays can be extremely trying for those experiencing loss, sadness, or feelings of loneliness. Invite God to join you in this process, and together we will walk through this difficult time. Join us for a special Christmas worship service acknowledging our losses, finding strength, and bonding us together through God’s love and healing during the holiday season. Invite friends or family members that may take comfort in this support.
