Our 2024 Christmas Season Schedule
Many people who consider themselves agnostic or not particularly religious are willing to accept the idea that there is a God out there somewhere, beyond us, unknowable, unreachable. That idea is popular because it allows us to approach all the big questions of truth and eternity with one big shrug. But you can’t really shrug at Christmas. Who is this baby whose birth the world celebrates? He is the one who saves his people. He is Christ the Lord. He is Immanuel, God with us. Not God far away. Not God distant and remote. God with us. Let us go and see this thing, what the Lord has made known to us!
Join us throughout the Christmas season as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. Merry Christmas!
Midweek Advent
Wednesdays in December at 7 PM
Join us for three midweek Vespers services during Advent, as we prepare to celebrate our Savior’s birth. The theme of these Wednesday services this year is “Confessing the Creed for Christmas” – how the simple confession of our Triune God in the Apostles’ Creed is a beautiful tool for preparing us for Christmas and for Christ’s coming again.
Christmas Eve
Dec. 24th at 7 PM
Join us for a special candlelight Christmas service and sing your favorite Christmas carols! This service features 9 lessons and carols adapted from the Christmas Carol Service traditionally held at King’s College, Cambridge, England on Christmas Eve. In Word and song, we follow the call of the shepherds, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Christmas Day
Dec. 25th at 9 AM
Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let every heart prepare him room!
Christ came into the world 2000 years ago as a little baby to redeem us and be our Savior, and still comes to us today in Word and Sacrament for the forgiveness of our sins, life, and salvation. Join us for our Christmas day festival celebration as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus, Immanuel, God with us, “born that we no more may die, born to raise us from the earth, born to give us second birth.”
