Our church is really looking forward to Christmas weekend. We decided to have two Christmas Eve services and one service on Christmas Sunday. We also discovered that this Christmas Sunday is the 45th anniversary of the first service in our sanctuary. It will be the first Sunday service with the brand-new carpet completely installed.
But as special as the occasion is, it is the act of worshiping together again in celebration of Jesus birth that makes this weekend so special. We’re looking forward to two wonderful candlelight services on Christmas Eve, the first at 6 PM, and the second at 8:30 PM. Our praise team will be leading music at 6 PM and Dave Schwarz along with Fran and Richard Filmer will be leading music at 8:30 PM. Each service will include four special numbers as listed and each will end, in candlelight.
6:00 p.m. Briana, Joanne – Flute, Harp “O Holy Night”
David Schwarz- “Let There be Light”
Trio: Licia, Clar, and Kim-” Follow the Star”
Eva Boswell and Ally Parker – Signing and Dance to “God With Us”
8:30 p.m. Dick Filmer Handbell Solo: “Silent Night”
Dave Schwarz – “Let There be Light”
JoAnne: Harp ” He is Born, the Divine Christ Child”
Victoria Kipping and Carol Rothwell: “Christ Child”
Christmas morning we are having one service at 10:30 AM. We are really looking forward to it because during that service our children will be putting on their musical called, “The Greatest Gift.” Children’s musicals are always a highlight at Christmas. Other special music will include Richard Filmer on organ for offertory and JoAnne Jones and Brianna Wilkinson on harp and flute.
One more thing is needed to make the weekend complete. It is for you to be there with us worshiping Jesus for his birthday.
