Worship Events in December

As you might imagine, December is the busiest month of the year for worship and music at Christ Church. December is equally busy in the lives of our congregants -- I encourage you to put these dates on your calendars in advance and plan to attend with your family and friends!

Hanging of the Greens
Saturday, December 3, 10:00am

Join us on Saturday morning, December 3, as we decorate the sanctuary for the Advent and Christmas seasons. This is an event for all ages, and will include special craft activities for the kids, a complementary soup and bread lunch (from the Smiling Moose Deli) and a brief time of worship to commemorate the season.

Festival of Lessons & Carols
Sunday, December 11, 6:00pm
The Christ Church Chancel Choir will present a special Festival of Lessons & Carols on Sunday evening, December 11. The service will feature the traditional reading of lessons (Scripture readings) interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols by choir and congregation. Following the worship service, there will be a holiday dessert reception in the Fellowship Hall, prepared by the United Methodist Women.

Children’s Christmas Pageant
Sunday, December 18, 10:15am
The annual children’s Christmas Pageant will be held during our regular Sunday morning worship service on December 18. This not-to-be-missed event incorporates the move from Advent into Christmas with the help our Christ Church children. Please contact the church office if you are interested in volunteering to help with costumes and other preparation for this year’s Christmas Pageant.

Candlelight Christmas Eve Service

Christ Church will celebrate Christmas Eve with a worship service at 7:00pm on December 24. This service will include special music from the Chancel Choir, carol singing with the congregation, Holy Communion, and a ceremony of candle-lighting.
