The time of the year is again upon us when the world begins to think about the amazing, wonderful grace of God in becoming man - the incarnation - when Jesus Christ was born. The birth of the Lord Jesus Christ is much more than a heart-warming story of a cute baby surrounded by animals, shepherds, and wise men. It is a central truth of the Bible story - how God became man in order to save us from our sins. As a result, the Christmas season provides opportunities to reach out to friends and neighbors with the gospel.
Children's Christmas Pageant
This year on December 15 at 5:15 PM we will have our annual Christmas Pageant with the children of Christ Church displaying the birth narrative along with readings from Scripture. We would love for you to join us and then stay for evening worship at 6:00 PM.
Worship with us on Sunday mornings, December 1, 8, 15, and 22, at 8:30 or 11:00 AM
What better way to celebrate His birth than by worshiping Him as He has commanded in His Word? (Hebrews 10:25; Acts 20:7) In the month of December this year, we will have a short sermon series "The Coming Savior in Psalms." Join us as we see the Messiah prefigured in the Psalms:
December 1 - Christ the King (Psalm 2)
December 8 - Christ the High Priest (Psalm 110)
December 15 - Christ the Deliverer (Psalm 22)
December 22 - Christ Coming with Righteousness (Psalm 98)
Then join us for Scripture and Carols on Sunday, December 24th at 6:00 PM.
The service is 35-45 minutes long. No childcare is provided, but all children are welcome in the service. We will sing traditional Christmas carols and have a series of Scripture lessons from the prophet Isaiah and the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. We will end with a candlelight singing of "Silent Night." You may view it on our Livestream page.
At Christ Church, we want to welcome you to come and be encouraged by the gospel story. We want you to be comforted, challenged, and find contentment in the Lord Jesus Christ, born to set His people free, and from our fears and sins release us, as the wonderful carol goes:
Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Let us find our rest in thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art;
Dear Desire of ev'ry nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
