Christmas Hope: Our Annual Christmas Pageant
Winter can be a discouraging time with the shortness of sunlight and cold weather, and perhaps even more so given all that is happening in the world around us. The winter solstice brings the promise of returning light and warmth, and the birth of Jesus, celebrated a few days later, brings hope and joy for better days to come. Join us in celebrating the Christmas season by retelling the story of Jesus’ birth in an interactive and music-filled worship service.
Kathy Underwood leads and Rev. Eileen will be the Worship Associate. Chester, Beck, Kiley Korey, Bruce Lorie, and Jenn Wisegarver will lead our hymns.
