Advent / Christmas at First Church
We have so much happening this year, and we hope that you’ll join us for as many of the special Advent celebrations.
Pageant Sunday
Sunday December 19th – both services
Come to church, or watch the 8:30 streamed service, to see our church youth and children present the annual Christmas Pageant. You will enjoy a wonderful retelling of the birth narrative and be reminded of the reason to celebrate Christmas and the great love God has for each and every one of us.
Christmas Eve at First Church
Family Service – 5:00 pm
Join us outside – yes outside! – for a service with carols, cocoa, campfire and a retelling of the story of Jesus’ birth. We’ll stand around the nativity scene in front of the church and have a joyous celebration! Bundle up and be there! Chairs will not be available, so please bring one if you need it.
Masks are recommended
Lessons & Carols – 9:00 pm
Our 9pm service will be streaming directly to you in the comfort of your home. Hear the beloved scriptures and timeless hymns proclaiming the birth of our savior. Our Sanctuary Choir will provide special music along with other special guest musicians.
Contemplation – 11:00 pm
At 11pm, we will gather for an in-person service in the Sanctuary. We will share the sacrament of Holy Communion and raise our vices in song together, accompanied by Finally @ First Praise Band. The service will culminate in candlelight.
Masks are required
First Sunday after Christmas
Sunday, December 26th – 9:00 am
We will have ONE SERVICE and we invite you to join us. We’ll have fun singing lots of Christmas carols and continuing to celebrate Christ’s birth.
