Advent & Christmas season
You are invited to celebrate the Advent and Christmas season at Grace! Everyone is welcome!
Advent Worship
Sundays, November 30 through December 21 at 8:00AM, 9:00AM, and 10:30AM
Join us on Sundays during Advent for the Radiate sermon series. You were created and called to radiate God’s love, to carry Christ’s light into the world. Come hear the messages about Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.
Order Poinsettias for Christmas Eve
Help us with our beautiful tradition of displaying the poinsettia tree for Christmas Eve. To fill the tree, we need 100 plants, and each one can be dedicated in celebration, honor, or memory of a loved one. Dedications will be printed in a special list for the Christmas Eve services. Poinsettias are $15 each, and orders can be placed online at peopleofgrace.org/poinsettias or this Sunday between services. The deadline for ordering is Sunday, December 14. We would love for you to be part of this cherished holiday tradition! If you have questions, please contact Barbara Hartman via email.
Children's Christmas Musical
Sunday, December 14 at 10:30AM
Make room for what really matters this Christmas! Everyone is invited for the Children's Christmas Musical "Room for Christmas" presented by the Children's Music Ministry. Don't miss this performance for all ages that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas!
Bring a new unwrapped toy ($15-$25 value) for the Toy Drive scripted into the musical. Toys collected will be presented to KidsAboveAll to help make sure all children experience the joy of the holidays.
Blue Christmas Worship
Saturday, December 20 at 5:00PM
Everyone is invited to the Blue Christmas Service on Saturday, December 20 at 5:00PM in the Sanctuary. Not everyone is up and cheery for the Christmas holidays. Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer or some other disease that puts a question mark over the future, or a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people. We invite you to listen, pray, and sing. Come and hear the message of healing and hope that our Christmas story provides. Everyone is welcome.
Festive Christmas Sweater Sunday
Sunday, December 21 at all worship services
Wear your crazy, loud, fun or festive attire to worship and join us for a time of fellowship and treats after worship in the Activity Center or the Gathering Space. Coffee, hot chocolate, tea, and juice provided. Bring a treat to share!
