When the season feels heavy, you are not alone. Find comfort and peace this Christmas season at our Service of Wholeness and Healing—a reflective candlelight service for all, especially those who find the holidays difficult or who are carrying grief. Join us in the Sanctuary for scripture, prayer, and music that remind us of God’s presence and hope, even in the shadows.
Children share the story of Christ's birth in their own joyful way. There will be no Sunday School so that everyone can join in celebrating this retelling of the Christmas story.
This classic Advent worship service tells the story of the birth of Jesus through a sequence of Scripture readings (“lessons”) interwoven with carols and choral music. This service is led by the Sanctuary Choir and an orchestra. There will be no Sunday School. A nursery is available for children ages birth through two years old in P311. First Church will be available and will feature a special Lessons and Carols in the Fellowship Hall. Children will leave their parents after the designated time in worship to join the First Church leaders, who will be waiting for them at the back of the sanctuary. Children will return to their families from the same location at the start of the last hymn.
