sermon series

Sundays in December | 10:00am • Glistening Treetops, Twinkling Lights, Dazzling Displays: so many modern Christmas themes involve the idea of sparkling light. We celebrate Jesus as the Light of the World - our hope and Savior. And yet, we still experience pain, brokenness, and disappointment in the world. Throughout God's story and our own lives, we can see glimmers of God's love: small reflections, reminders, and recollections of God's presence and goodness, even in the midst of pain or uncertainty. No matter where you find yourself this Christmas season, join us on Sundays for Glimmers of Christmas. 

Journey
to Bethlehem 

December 6th | 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm • Come experience the story of Christmas and the excitement of Jesus' birth in a whole new way. The live nativity performance will be in the Worship Center and will begin at 7:30pm sharp!

Marketplace activities will open at 6:00pm and resume after the performance. Don't miss yummy food samplings, fun activities and crafts, and the adorable petting zoo. The marketplace has activities for all ages! Dinner is available for purchase.

Christmas 
on the Patio

December 11th & 18th | 6:30pm - 7:30pm • In all the busyness of Christmastime, take time to cozy up, worship, and remember the reason for the season. We will gather around the fire, sing Christmas songs, sip on cocoa and cookies, and hear a devotional reminding us of the true light of Christmas. This event is completely free but please RSVP to help us plan.
