Worship the Lord

 This year's theme is "How Does a Weary World Rejoice?" with a focus on the narrative of the Gospel of Luke. What does joy look like to you and can it coexist when there are many things that make our heart weary? Join us as we consider this question in preparation for the gift of Christmas.

Thursday, Dec. 21, 6:30 p.m. | Commonly referred to as "Blue Christmas" service, this will be a contemplative service of prayer, music, reflection, and remembrances, especially for those of us experiencing loss or grief during the holiday season, on the longest night of the year. 

Sunday, Dec. 24, 7:30 p.m. | In candlelight, this service is festive and joyous to welcome anew the birth of the Christ Child. We will follow the traditional Lessons and Carols, a series of scripture readings and corresponding hymns, and celebrate Holy Communion. The service will end in candlelight while singing "Silent Night."

Sunday, Dec. 31, 10:15 a.m. | On this First Sunday in Christmastide we will have a simple service, singing some of our favorite Christmas hymns. There will also be a special time of prayer for the New Year.
