Today we celebrate the end of the 12 days of Christmas, completing our story with the guiding star and the Wise Men who came to worship Jesus.

This Sunday marks the end of Christmastide as well as the beginning of our new year - 2025! We will also receive “star gifts,” or special words to help guide us for the year ahead.

Join us for a relaxed and joy-filled worship the Sunday after Christmas. Our worship leadership team will lead us in a service of stories, carols, and celebration!

We will celebrate a service of scripture, song, and candlelight in celebration of Jesus’s birth. Join us on this silent and holy, joyful and hope-filled night as we once again welcome light and love into our world.

Come join us in morning worship!

We will light the candles of HOPE, PEACE, JOY and LOVE as we continue preparing our hearts for the birth of Jesus once again.

The Christmas season is a time of joy and hope, “the most wonderful time of the year” - but it doesn’t always feel that way for everyone or at all times. Whether you are grieving or missing loved ones from Christmases past, struggling with alienation from friends and family, or living with anxiety and depression in this cold, dark season, it can be hard to handle the pressure to feel in the Christmas spirit.

As we near the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, this service gives us an opportunity to sit in some of the harder parts of this season. This “Blue Christmas” service will be a quieter and more meditative space, allowing folks to be present in community and to be held in the love of God which remains even when the light of Bethlehem’s star is hard to see. All are welcome to join us for this service of prayer, reflection, remembrance, and togetherness.
