Christmas Eve Worship Canceled Due to Weather

Canceled – 11:00 PM Saturday Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship
Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship
With disappointment, we inform you that our Christmas Eve Candlelight service is canceled due to the weather. We are ready and all things are beautifully arranged by our incredible volunteers.  Our musicians have rehearsed and will be ready Sunday morning if we are able to gather.

If you would like to keep your Christmas Eve worship at 11:00 pm tradition uninterrupted, we have included the link to last year’s Christmas Eve service below for your convenience.

9:30 AM – Sunday Morning Christmas Day Worship

This Sunday we are scheduled to gather for worship at 9:30 AM – combined in the sanctuary.  If we do, most of our worship elements from our canceled Christmas Eve service will be included on Sunday morning.  If we can not gather on Sunday due to the weather, we will change our plans for January 1 and make that Sunday morning a Christmas celebration with a different set of worship elements.  Take some time to reflect on Gospel accounts of the Christmas story in Matthew 1, Luke 1-2, and John 1 and give thanks to God for the indestructible hope that came into the world and our hearts through Jesus.

Reminder: Bring a non-perishable food item for the food distribution ministry with our friends and neighbors at Byron Village.  Place it on the table in the Fellowship Room.

Sunday, December 25 and Sunday, January 1 are Family Days – there are no evening worship gatherings scheduled.

Thank You for your Gifts, Tithes, and Offerings
Thank you for your generosity to Christ’s Church.  We encourage you to prioritize your local church in your giving because the local church is the bride of Christ, and Jesus is the hope of the world.  We excel in the grace of giving when we honor God with our time, our treasures, and our talents.

Pastor Bob Huisman
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love, 
which binds them all together in perfect unity.  Colossians 3:12-14
