Join us Christmas Eve @ 3 pm, 5 pm, or 10 pm as we celebrate the birth of Christ with a Eucharist service of lessons and carols. Children are invited to come dressed as their favorite character from the nativity story at the 3 pm and 5 pm services, as those are both family friendly. Nursery care will be available at the 3 pm and 5 pm services.
Christmas Eve Giving: All of the financial offerings we collect on Christmas Eve will be given to CLINIC (cliniclegal.org) and Good Samaritan Advocates (goodsamaritanadvocates.org).
